Butterflies

We made butterflies today!

The boys had so much fun,

well... so did Abigayle.

She really enjoyed pulling off

all the butterflies pretties. lol

We have been practicing scissors techniques

and since the boys have been doing

so great with basic cutting I thought

we'd make a project.

They loved cutting the shapes

and then there was the glue.

Honestly... what is there not to love about glue??!!

Lots and lots of glue.

The loved learning about butterflies

as they were making their pieces of art.

Brayden was awfully proud of his butterfly,

Abigayle was obeying by looking but if you notice

she is actually picking off an eyeball.

And then there is Blake, obviously upset that

Mommy is making him take this picture.

He'd much rather be playing with his new creature.

We had a much better day today than yesterday.

Everyone took a nap (well everyone 5 and under)

I cleaned the apartment,

made a cake in the microwave

and had dinner almost ready

by the time Chuck made it home from school.

The boys were asleep before 8:00pm,

sent Chuck out with a few friends from class,

Ab's is fighting sleep

but soon I will have a book in my hand

and a quite house!!

Today I am thankful for peacefulness.
