We almost always go to the library on Tuesdays for story time. After story time there are activities such as: crafty Tuesday, kindergarten readiness and shared meal. The tuesday before Valentine's was crafty Tuesday and the kids got to make Valentines. The twins thought they could give theirs to Nana. After we finished, we dropped by to deliver them. She was SO happy to have them come by and give her the Valentines!
September 11, 2002 "Studio": I borrowed a camera and used the corner of the boys' room.... I first hung a white sheet and then arranged the flag very carefully behind them. I threw some benches in front covered with a blanket, arranged the kids and took pictures.
Put a different blanket on the bench.
Wasn't Robby a doll?!
Traded the flag for Cody's bed spread. Changed the sitting from a bench to buckets covered with a blanket and arranged the Harry Potter books, added the cloak and wand.
January 2004 "Studio": My living room wall a bench covered with lacy curtains and my daughter dressed in her flower girl dress from a wedding. We did these for her baptism program.
January 21, 2009 "Studio": dining room, backdrop a 1890's - 1900's bath cabinet (got for a dollar at a yard sale) covered with slippery cream material (can ya tell I'm no seamstress?) purchased from the second-hand store in a bag for a buck! Armrest/seat: Dress-up treasure box flipped over and covered in material.
Add some happy kids and even a grumpy teen put the camera on sepia --- perfect photo shoot!
This is What Em wore to church and since I had this challenge on the brain, I quick setup a "Studio": bedroom corner, long lead rope, black king size sheet, bucket with lid and black pillow case. Add one girl ready for posing and you've got it!
The remains of a taser....
from another angle... not sure if you can see the barbs that stick into you when deployed. I hope the video works so you can watch the action. The story is that on Monday, Troy had a taser class from 9 am to 5 pm. He learned a lot and felt a lot as well. They got to choose whether or not to take the barbs, he didn't take the barbs. Instead the simulated a miss-fire and he got the dry shock. This was not a choice, he had to attend for work and he stressed about it for days.

before that though I tried a few things on my own.....
My washing machine sorta looks a bit distorted.
Cookie, not sure how distorted it looks, but it was another attempt.
Robby and Scott measuring and scraping into the bowl.
Crack some eggs, boys!
Robby took over the actual pouring of the eggs out of the shells, but Scott cracked them both.
Sugar measured by Scott -- all by himself!
Robby turned it on and Scott put in the last of the ingredients.
After a little time {OK overnight} in the fridge, we rolled it out on the table. Scott got to cut out the first "man"
We decorated them before we baked them because I did not have any frosting.
"Oh, they looks SO good, Mom!"
Add a little milk and that is perfection!
