it’s been a busier week with errands and appointments, athletic practices- most involving grandchildren.
One night this week was an evening football practice one town south of us
we were given a bag of old crayons, so of course we looked on Pinterest

These projects look pretty cool, don’t they?
I’m not impressed with how ours turned out. We glued down peeled crayons onto canvas boards and melted them with a blow dryer.
we also tried sitting the canvases on easels in the very hot Oklahoma sun with a magnifying glass.
Neither really melted the crayons in an attractive way.
So Marine Grandpa got out some real fire

He certainly melted the crayons but I don’t like his results either.
But the kids do like their art and they really liked the fire.
Can any of you tell what this is?
a 12 year old so happy to shoot a rubber band with his hand.
He had so much fun with a rubber band. And yes, he knows not to shoot people, just a target or knocking over a small empty box.
we’ve been enjoying really good summer fruit- nothing dance- just watermelon, cherries and strawberries all from Walmart.
Hope you’re all having a good week
❤️
