A New Kind of Tie Dye

Ethan ran a fever of 102 for 6 days. By the end of the week we all had a touch of Cabin Fever so we got creative....

I'd seen this idea on Pinterest and had all the supplies on hand so we got to crafting. 

First we drew on our shirts with Sharpie markers. We used plastic cups underneath to contain the design and catch excess liquid from the next step. 

After we drew our designs we added a few drops of rubbing alcohol to the middle of our circles and waited for the ink to spread. 

The kids had a lots of fun and our shirts turned out fabulous!  It made for a great afternoon. 

First Day Of First Grade

Avery and I sent Ethan off to his first day of first grade this morning. That's big for 2 reasons:  it's ALL DAY!  And I taught first grade do its near and dear to my heart. 

He was so excited. I can't wait to hear how it went, but knowing this kids I'm sure he loved it all. 

When I asked him what he was most excited about for the new year his immediate response was...recess!  The soccer field is way bigger!

Love this grown up boy!
