We made a fun bouquet of flowers for Grandma for Mother's Day. It's just flowers cut out of cardstock, and I let the kids fingerpaint on them (it was supposed to be finger prints for the petals, but Mara was just making them her own), a button for the center, and we used green pipecleaners as stems and a painted styrofoam ball as the dirt. The kids had alot of fun making them for their Grandmas.
I had seen this on my friend Natalie's blog (who got it from her sister's blog here) so I decided to try it out. Instead of using sponge rollers or fabric, you roll up the hair in socks!! It was really easy to do, but I think her hair was too wet, so by morning it was just wavy and not the spiral curls I was hoping for. But Mara didn't really like them in her hair all that much, so it might be awhile before I try it again.
My mom took an afternoon off and spent some time out in the garden. So of course, Mara had to be her helper. She got out gloves and a shovel and was ready to work. She just loves Mana so much and is ALWAYS her shadow and is wanting to help her in any way. That afternoon it was really nice because I was able to get a much needed nap while Xander was at school :)
