Yesterday was Mardi Gras day, and lucky for us, David's office was closed. He debated going in, but ultimately decided not much would get accomplished because no one else in the city would be working! It is rare to have a full day all together with nothing on the books! Although we had a great time at the parades, we decided we had done enough. To be honest, we were both pretty wiped out from the hard work- but definitely worth it to see Mardi Gras through the eyes of 2 and 4 year olds!
Pretty cold out, so we needed to come up with a fun indoor project...
I remembered something I had seen on designing moms, and ran quickly to the dollar store and michaels for supplies...
We would be making wooden spoon puppets!!
The girls LOVED doing this....Bennett- well, he lasted about 34 seconds before he started pouring paint on the counter and was excused! David even painted himself (can you guess which one) and took fashion direction from Elise. It was fun to watch him do an art project with the kids, but where he really shone was the actual show....:)
My parents invited us over for a Mardi Gras Muffaletta dinner and so we took our little show on the road...
It was a fun day! Elise is already asking this morning, what are doing fun today??? So, I guess I need to think of a way to top spoon puppets.....hmmm.....better get to work!
Happy Wednesday!
Love, Nicole
