Glass Blowing (Pumpkin)

So I signed the kids up for something different...Glass blowing classes♥

Every month they offer different things you can make...and for September they had Pumpkin classes.

Kai wanted to make one so I signed him up.

It was a great experience!

Waiting for his turn...Luka came along for support!

Getting a quick lesson on how to use the glass blower.

Go Kai!

He did awesome!

He got to choose the color of the pumpkin and stem...

I can't wait to see the result!

We picked up some frozen yogurt afterward...

Few days later the pumpkin was ready♥

He's so proud!

It turned out amazing♥

Luka will be making a glass ghost next month!

BUSY SUMMER Part 21

That time we went to Chalk Fest and saw amazing chalk art.

Some were in 3D.

Can you see Luka standing on a 'floating island'?

This one looked awesome!

I was stoked to see World Market carrying a Hello Kitty Matsuri collection.

Seeing all these old school Sanrio characters takes me back to the 90's!!

Milo fell in love with Keroppi, or what he called "silly baseball frog guy".

Kiwi Crate - Magic Trick Box!

So while I was out for the day, daddy and the kiddos worked on a new Kiwi Crate project.

A magic trick box!

They were so excited to show me how it works!

An emotional Milo

 I forget why he was emotional but he drew this very intricate design the other day.

He told me it was a skull.

(Kinda dark....)
But I liked it so much, I bought a frame for it the next day.

And can you tell he was crying?

Jack Skellington!

This was Milo's "toy of the day".

Jack Skellington!

At pick-up, Luka showed me some of his artwork displayed in class.

He was especially proud of this creation.

A dragon he says!

Kiwi Crate - Capillary Action!

Oooo this was a fun kit!

"Capillary Action" taught us how liquid can be absorbed by fibers..much like a tree or a plant feeding on water!!  Luka was amazed!

You can even see Olive in the background!

This was one of my favorite Kiwi Crates I've helped with the kids.

Family Art Night !

Family Art Night!

Luka showing off his school journal.

Kai chatting with his old Preschool teachers.

Luka loves tracing faces on the light table.

He brings one home every day.

Milo finally got to explore the play kitchen area!

Everyday at pick up, he gravitates to this area and wants to play but we can't.

He finally got it out of his system on Art Night!

We had a blast!

"The Bear" by Luka

He worked very hard on this!

He wrote a book about a bear♥

Nailed It! -Play-Doh version

We were snowed in for days!

Luckily we had a good stock pile of play doh♥

I don't normally pull them out because it creates a big mess and I have to vacuum up all the itty bitty fallen pieces but like I said, we were snowed in.

Kai and Luka have been watching the Netflix series "Nailed It" and so they did there own versions of recreating cakes with Play-Doh.

Luka Doodles

My little artist!

I found some googly eye stickers so I got them.

Luka immediately pounced on them and started doodling.

So the story goes... The little guy with the red glasses (and lashes) is Luka.

The two big guys next to him are statues!

and the small guy at the top...well that's daddy!

Kiwi Crate Project #1 ::Arcade::

Yay!!

The kids received a subscription for a really cool DIY/Art project kit called "Kiwi Crate".

(Thank you PaPaw Steve!!♥)

The first kit we received was awesome!  

A build your own arcade.

First we made our pom pom monsters.

Daddy helped with making the claw and the kids decorated the box.

This was so much fun and the kids loved it!

Milo loved making the pom pom monsters that he wanted to make on in his favorite color, yellow.

We can't wait to make the next one!

Luka's puppet show!

Luka was working on this all morning...he cut out a character and taped it to a lego stick and wanted to show me a puppet show!
