I saw these in a shop today and fell in love, but they aren’t cheap. There are SOOOO many things you can do with them…different metals, sizes, beads, etc, etc, etc.

Example #1 We were at the grocery store today. I turn around and Colm is eating a cookie. I asked him where he got the cookie and he informs me that he “found” it. When I asked him where he found it he pointed to the grocery store shelf. Deep breath while extracting the possibly tainted cookie from his little grasp. (The cookie had just been out in the open sitting on the grocery store shelf for goodness knows how long and where it had been before it was on the shelf is anybody’s guess.)
Example #2 Liam is not capable of talking and doing anything else at the same time. I was in his room while he was supposed to be getting ready for bed tonight, but he just had too much he wanted to tell me and he was making zero progress in the getting ready for bed department. So, I told him I was going to leave and while I was gone he was to brush his teeth. I left for about ten minutes, came back, and asked him if he’d brushed his teeth. He looked puzzled and then informed me that he had not brushed his teeth in the ten minutes that I had been gone.
See what I mean??? It is truly a miracle that I have any hair left on my head.
The boys had their first art class at the Nelson today. Liam’s class learned about dragons and Colm’s class learned about fish. They both loved it which is good because they’re going to a week long camp there in August. 🙂 Sean and I liked it because while they were at class we went to the Apple store and then went to a coffee shop we have wanted to go to for months and had some coffee, a baguette and some yummy jam.
I snuck a picture of Colm while they were still painting towards the end of class. Not a very good picture, but he was so cute in his little paint smock. Notice all the boys in his class.
FInished product…a dragon mask
Finished product…a painting of an electric eel. They also made some cute fish out of tissue paper, buttons, small sea shells and recycled water bottles, but I didn’t snap a picture of those.
