When we do nothing at all.



We went to a drive-in double feature last night and all were in bed by 3am.

One of the benefits of no public school - we didn't have to worry about whether or not it's a school night!

Anyway - back to subject -

This morning I was loving not getting out of bed' til late, having no hurry to change out of jammies and LOVING having nothing on our calendar for anybody!

Hubby was loving that too.

So out of our languid attitude today hubby has already taken the boys out into the back yard and done some archery.  Then -

Andrew is sculpting.

I made the clay for them, but it really just took a few minutes.

I used:
 4 cups flour
1 cup salt
1 1/2 cups hot tap water
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
Step 1: Combine flour, salt & water. Add oil. Knead. If it is too dry, add water. If too sticky, add flour.

 Alex (just turned 5) is painting some wooden cars.


Sarah comes and works on sculpting in between episodes of whatever she is watching on netflix at the moment.

Once Andrew's sculpture is done he wants to make some craft he found in a book that was strewn around here . . .


Of course little brother doesn't waist much time in jumping in on whatever bigger brother is doing so he got crafty too . .

 It's *ROADS* obviously!


Feeling happy with that, he made a lego man.  Silly me, thinking it was a robot . . . it'a a man.


And then Sarah shut off her netflix and started painting. Painting while singing . . . .



Not an ounce of prompting from me -
just a whole lot of "YES"'s
