He has eyes!!

My grandpa gave Scarlett this See's Candy truck before he passed away and she loves playing with it and pretending it's Mac from Cars. The only problem with it was he didn't have eyes like all the rest of the Cars, so I had to change that.
 I got out my paints and gave him eyes just like his friends and let me tell you, Scarlett was ecstatic!!! She watched me while I painted and as soon as I was finished she grabbed all of her other cars to come and see.
 She introduced Lightening to him first and said "see Lightening, Mac has new eyes now!"
 Now he feels more like a part of the gang and is ready for any adventure that may come his way!

Pine Cone Walk

I've been wanting to add discovery walks to our weekly activities now that the weather has cooled a bit and we went on our first one last week. The kids grabbed their buckets and off we went in search for pine cones. I have no plans for them right now but figure we will find a project to do with them later.
 There are several pine trees around us so they were easy to find and it was a great activity that both kids could be involved in.
 They both loaded their buckets so full they became too heavy for them to carry anymore, so I took over while we stopped off at the park for a little play time. They ran their little legs silly then we started heading back home.
 A little army jumped in for the ride back and along our way we spotted a praying mantis. While Taylor wasn't very interested in the little guy, Scarlett was fascinated!
 She was so gentle with it, holding the little guy and letting him walk around in her hair. When we were done, she gently set him back in the grass and told me he was going back to his mommy now, so sweet.
I can't wait to see what we discover this week on our walk.

Shrinky Dinks

Did you play with Shrinky Dinks when you were younger? My sister and I totally did and I hadn't thought about them in years until I won a Shrinky Dinks set on a blog giveaway. I was SO excited the day it arrived and couldn't wait to get everything out and start coloring. My mom and sister were coming up so I pulled everything out when they were here and we all colored together, it was so much fun! The kit I received was a monster lab full of silly monsters and googly eyes and we were able to get pretty creative with building our monsters. Scarlett had fun playing with everything and did a great job coloring them.
 Now that I remember how much fun they are I want to get some of their other kits like the fairy garden. Watching them shrink was just a magical as when I was a kid, we couldn't take our eyes off the little guys in the oven. It was fun reliving something from my childhood while passing it on to my kids.
If you haven't done Shrinky Dinks since you were a kid, I suggest going out and getting some, there's something so exciting about watching plastic shrink!
