Our arty family.

So. We are doing a lot of art projects these days. I finished stenciling the bathroom wall and putting up the chair rail. The kids painted canvases for the bathroom and the flower pots for the front yard. And I made my first stain glass pattern for the front hall.

Not everything turned out well. The kids' stuff looks great. My stained glass does t look great. It looks funny. But Nicholas traced the same stain glass pattern I did and his looks fabulous. It just isn't fair. Well, onto mosaics I guess.

A very fun weekend.

We spent Saturday with my mom. She came up and we visited the Discovery Space and Science museum. It was the perfect size for my kids and had a great outside area to play in.

We had a lot of fun. Abby got a magnifying glass that has been stuck in her hand until dance class this morning. Nicholas has a space shuttle that has been sleeping with him and helping him fly around the neighborhood.

They also got special pennies that are the bet behavior incentive ever because they don't want to lose their pennies.

Jon really likes the humans sundial thing outside. Nicholas and Abby liked the little stream. They got so worn out.

Finished the bathroom.

I finished the fun part of the downstairs bathroom. I stenciled and put up a chair rail to protect our wall. The kids have taken the doorstops and so we needed something to protect the wall. Therefore, we got a chair rail.

Here's the best picture I could get.
