Tuesday it rained. Most of the rest of the days we had been there, the kids had been riding their bikes several hours a day. On Tuesday, that wasn't really possible.
But, there are worse people to be stuck inside with. :) Gramma busted out these plaster molds that she had found in some of her unpacked boxes. I'm fairly certain they were leftover from when we lived in Virginia... which makes them, oh.... 20 years old? I'm also fairly certain they were chocolate molds that we filled with plaster of Paris.
Old molds + paint = F U N!
They concentrated for an hour or more, and didn't hardly notice that it was raining outside.
Finished products. I'll let you guess which set belongs to whom.
And you can see the resulting mess when the children said they were "done". We are still working on "done" meaning cleaned up....
After they painted for a bit, Gramma helped them make their own lip gloss.
4 flavors, one for each girl. Kari helped to design the labels.
I dunno. But it was cute. Next slide.
Because Gramma's are thoughful and fair, Dylan got a new wooden car to play with, while the lip gloss was being produced.
Aaaaaaaaaand, Kaitlyn tried out some interesting hair styles.
By the end of the day, the kids realized they hadn't ridden their bikes at all, and were a little frustrated. But they didn't seem to notice all the time that had passed. That is a good day in my book.
