The summer is winding down...the kids are BOTH in school now...and the house is pretty quiet. Except for Saturdays!!
The new schedule will probably be them both spending the night on Fridays -- and then we'll have all day Saturday to play and do things. As you know -- there's a lot popping around here on a Saturday! And that's a day Elliott and Emily are pretty busy with their business.
On this particular Saturday -- Lilly found a "Cement Stepping Stone" kid I'd purchased for $1.88 at the Goodwill store. Yes, it seemed like a good idea. As we read the directions, I thought the most fun part of this project would be actually pressing things INTO the wet cement...
And I was right...
 |
| The actual BEST part of the activity was the pre-cement-pouring TREASURE HUNT... |
 |
| The kids took a pink bowl and went all around the house, looking for marbles, buttons, or pieces of jewelry that could be pressed into the wet cement. |
 |
| They cut up plastic straws to make their initials |
 |
| And they were pretty pleased with the final results. |
 |
| Wasrren took this picture of me, with both stepping stones. |
So, our Saturdays are going to have to do us for now. And, I have signed Lilly up for a special Saturday activity that seems to hold great promise...??!!
