FuNsChOoL MoLd CoNtEsT
MOLD??? YUCK! Molds were grown in bags and jars and the results were oh so fabulous. The containers were opened and the contents were examined.
The contest was really discusting, however, the kids were so proud of what they grew!
We made ballots and the kids voted.
Awards were given in the following categories:
Best of Show
Best All Around
Biggest Stink
Most Colorful (Mia won this one!)
Ugliest
Stickiest
Softest
Biggest
Smallest
Fluffiest
Slimiest
Craziest
and
Simply Beautiful
Here are our molds and the ribbons we were awarded.
Mia and I made the ribbons. Color Field Paintings, cut and collaged together. We glued pins on the back so the participants could wear their award. And for those that did not win an award we made ribbons with good job! fantastic! cool! on them.

Horse Stencil
Mia is totally into horses and I am in to this new found "Super Crafty" technique. We cut a stencil using freezer paper, ironed it onto our sweatshirt, then painted. Mia's horse turned out very cool!
Myles worked on his painting. I think he was thinking about the spring flowers.

Camping in the Shenandoah National Park
Our first camping trip with the fam! The kids loved it! Well, most of the time. The weather became really cold and then started to rain. Chad makes amazing camping food! I can not wait for another camping trip (with warm & dry weather).
Lena had a blast hiking on the Appalachian Trail.

Washable bear
Mia really wanted to create a bear that you can draw on and then wash the drawing off. She started the project by drawing a pattern and cutting out all of the pieces. I helped sew the features on the bear and Mia finished the sewing and stuffing.
