Spring Break Fun

Sam's Spring Break was this past week and bless the school district instead of taking two days off of the end of school, they just extend an already week long spring break!) Again I had to brace myself for the possible choas, arguing, and referring that would occur this week; but my kids have been pretty good, exceeding their mom's pessimistic expectations. I did provide a boat load of projects for us to do, so that helped. With the help of pinterest we came up with a lot of fun things to do: Here is a sampling:


#1) I have to pat myself on the back, and cross my fingers that people won't look to closely at this McGiever-ed sand box. I was so sick of the dirt and the resulting mud from the dirt pile, so I converted it to a sand box. With a few bags of sand and 2 2x4's, I handsawed my way into a box, dumped the sand and called it a day. Shawn would be horrified of my lack of measuring and my deeply inadequate trench, but it works:) #2) Kite flying and marshmallow shooters

#3) Exploding Bags - the boys loved these! Popcicle airplanes - also loved these but no picture.

#4) Sidewalk Paint. Again another hit and no to difficult. The beauty of this - if it got on their clothes it washed out like nothing.

#5) Gak - Super Fun, but Super Messy! I'm still finding remnants of the gak all over.
