Flying Wings.....
Don't ask me how we ended up making wings out of cereal boxes and pipe cleaners, but we did. Each of the kids got a set and it was Gabriel's idea to make wings in the first place. Anna then thought of the idea of using pipe cleaners, so they could put them on there arms and have something to hold on too. There are so many great uses for cereal boxes and we also made a race track, which the kids have colored and decorated.

I have to say cardboard is wonderful and such a inexpensive way for kids to craft. We went to a friends house this past weekend and they had made a doll house out of cardboard. It was awesome and I guess the little girls loves to play with it. Kids tend to play more with things they make themselves:)

Evening Walk........
The kids had a lot of fun collecting wood on our walk. We have a big park just down the road and there were some big trees. It was not the plan at the beginning of the walk, but as soon as they found a few sticks there was no stopping them. Anna & Gabe collected them all and all I did was break them up so I could get them home.

I even had a really big limb that I ended up dragging behind me because it was to big to break up. We will have to take the saw to that one.

They were so proud of themselves. We now have a good pile of wood for starting fires in our fireplace and all for free. We got home right at 5:00 p.m. and it was almost dark. How sad that it is. Well maybe the kids will be ready for bed a bit earlier with it dark so early.
