Ocean Bento

Ok after reading about these magical Bento Boxes, I had to give it a try and much like everything else it looked so much better in my head! That being said the kids still loved them and I quote "Mama you are good with food." The idea is that buy making cool little shapes and decorations you can incorporate a lot of vegetables, and the kids eat them because they are so COOL....

Ocean Theme

-Blue Spaghetti

- Hot Dog Squid

-Gold Fish

-Grape Sticks

-Cheese Fish

- Ants on a Boat (celery with ants)

ART

So we watched a Documentary entitled "My kid could paint that".... where a four year old girls art sells for thousand of dollars.... the debate was whether or not her father actually did the painting.........I say yes Michael says no way....so we did a little experiment using our very own children.... They were given complete freedom to squirt, splatter, and spray as much paint as their hearts desired these are the results

p.s. if anyone would like to purchase said painting for thousands of dollars feel free to call me!!!!(can you guess who did which?)

Bye Bye Butterfly

So we sent our 6.00 in the mail and 2 weeks later received a box with several caterpillars which turned into cocoons...and then 4 little butterflies. We released our butterflies yesterday (pearl, crystal, turtle, and golden) into the wilds of our front yard....may they live a long and happy life in Beaumont Texas.
