something borrowed

We had another quiet week end, the highlight of which was a visit from D.'s best friend. We did a little art activity together. It was a bit messy, lots of "ew"-ing in the process, but easy and with great results. We will try and organize "create together" sessions every week now.
Thanks to the lovely blogs out there we are never short of ideas :)

Our first activity was borrowed from  Smart Art Class
 Marbleizing with Shaving cream  
  It was easy and fun, we have lots of pretty paper scraps now as kids wanted to try all the colors :)
D.'s best masterpiece :

Our second activity, Crazy Crayons comes from  Frugal Family Fun Blog. These turned out pretty great (even though yours truly misread instructions somehow and set oven to 400 F o_O , which in turn resulted in a lot of stinky smoke, it did not however affected crayons at all). Kids were absolutely delighted.

So here it is, ready to rock another week. Lots of work preparing lessons for me, since I will have to go back to work again, we are going to wrap up our Japan activities, also some outings are planned and I hope they will happen.
