Wacky Wednesday!

The last couple of days have been a crafting frenzy in the Rainey household!

First, I thought I would do those cute heart window panes light catchers. I cut the contact paper into a heart, and had the kids put tissue paper into the hearts. The paper was really hard to separate but it was a fun craft!





The following day, G was sick so I stayed home with him. We had lots of fun making sensory bottles and beading beads. He wanted to paint and then it turned into this...
A new color for the working truck!

Happy Wednesday :)

The Rainey's go Paleo!

So we are turning over a new leaf, and cutting it clean. Our diet I mean. We are eating like cave men the paleo way. I wish I could tell you that I know exactly what that means, but I don't. I'm sure I'll have lots of time to learn the ways, and find new rescources but as for now, I am relying on my partner to help guide the way. One thing we have increased in our diets is celery, and lots of it!

Tonight as I was copping up what seemed to be the 100th celery stock, I got the idea of letting the kids paint with it. In the past I have let them use the bottom part and it makes this pretty flower/rose picture, but tonight I thought about giving them the leafy part to use as a paint brush. I say it turned out really well!







G's above using paper, he just uses his environment! Got to love washable paint!
