Let's paint a snowman!
Another Frozen surprise: Elsa and Anna capes!
As much as Grace loved her Elsa dress and hair, what is an ice princess without a cape to twirl around?
So last night in the wee hours, I made her a cape out of an old curtain sheer and some tulle flower trim that I found hiding in my sewing stash.
And of course, I couldn't make Elsa a cape without making Anna one too. I realize that Anna's cape was not purple in Frozen but purple happens to be Faith's favorite color, so I took a little creative liberty and made it purple with a hoodie. Now Faith can be Anna or Little Purple Riding Hood!

Parsley is building something.
Grace told me today that Parsley was building a chrysalis.
I was skeptical but sure enough it looks like he is!
A Frozen activity: Snowflakes
We're really into Frozen right now.
Even Benjamin.
So today I let the kids make paper snowflakes.
It's a wonderfully fun activity.
And we all enjoyed it.
Now we just need to hang them up somewhere and turn this hot summer into a Frozen winter wonderland!

Suprise! Anna and Elsa costumes!
When David travels for work I have a hard time sleeping. So rather than toss and turn all night I have found that during the wee hours of the morning I am able to accomplish quite a bit.
Last night for instance, I created Anna and Elsa costumes complete with yarn wigs.
And I surprised Grace and Faith with them this morning.
They were utterly delighted. As am I - especially since I made these with no pattern or little models to try on. I'll admit they do need a bit of tweaking but that's for another sleepless night.

We found a caterpillar...and we're keeping it!
The kids discovered a caterpillar eating our parsley today.
So we moved him to an empty peanut butter jar for observation.
The kids call him their new pet. Named Parsley. How appropriate.
