Summer Activities

Since both boys have been in school all year, it's easier to get them to participate in craft projects and activities with their big sister. She always wants to do projects but, in the past, this was problematic because the boys wouldn't use the glue correctly (What am I saying? Peter used it properly the other day but then finished by trying to shampoo his hair with it. He got a haircut.) or they would throw feathers, glitter or sequins all over the floor.

This year has been better. They've painted and glued objects onto paper. Next we're going to try popsicle stick projects or something like them.

We'll see how it goes but I would like for kids to do more than play outside or watch television. We've planned picnics for days when Daddy is home (and it's not raining) and we're hoping to do a few field trips to museums.

I would love for someone to put together travel books for parents of children with special needs. Maybe that's my next project.
