As part of Julianna's school performance each child was supposed to make an 'outfit' using recyclable materials. I'm sure that part (most?) of the point of the whole endeavor is to teach kids about waste/recycling/etc but I think our girls mostly learned (all over again) how much plain ole fun creativity brings to our home :)
Matt took one of the birthday package boxes and cut it down til it "fit" :) Then the girls took the used wrapping paper and packing materials, added a few pairs of scissors plus a lot of glue and ended up with this .....
On Tuesday afternoon Julianna and her classmates "modeled" their creations. Some of the outfits were pretty funny. But not one had the spunk and flair and trademark "made by two craft-loving little girls" look that Julianna's did!
We had a super busy week and I am glad that it is almost over. I think that June is going to be a little slower for our family (and I just bought tickets to go see two dear friends at the end of the month!!!!) but July is possibly going to be wild and wooly :) Matt will probably travel quite a bit and we're talking through taking the whole family along. Let's just say the destination is a smidge off the well-travelled route :) We'll have to just wait and see how it all shapes up!
