I Spy Jars...and blocks!

Cerene, Caida, and I had a lot of fun today!  Besides swimming before the "storm" (that never came), we made some I Spy Jars out of old glass jars, little trinkets we found around the house and some old jewelry, and birdseed as the filler.  Hot glue and a laminate machine helped seal the deal, and they were just as fun to play with as they were to make!

Our friend Dan came over in the middle to help out, and afterwards we all rediscovered the joys of playing with simple blocks!  Of course, Cerene and Dan are both a little competitive, so between "who can build the coolest house" (which was too subjective, of course) and "who can build the TALLEST house," we probably had more fun than Caida.  :)

Then Lindsey came over and we all enjoyed some M&Ms and chatted merrily for a few hours.  After everyone left for home or to visit with friends, Caida and I enjoyed a movie night (The Princess and the Frog) with a cereal/M&M mix instead of popcorn.  And now we're going to bed.  Good Monday.  :)
