Painting Salt

We've been bored a lot this summer.  We're kind of just waiting around for our vacation to get here.  So, thanks to Pinterest, we decided to paint some salt.  We took glue, made a design, and then dropped watered down paint onto it.  We watched the colors spread, and the kids loved it.  It wasn't something that we could keep, because the salt begins to crumble after awhile.  But thank goodness for pictures!  I can snap one, and then throw them away!

Matt went with his standard rainbow picture.  He loves rainbows:

Grace did a beautiful smiley face:

Andrew and Joey went with swirly sunbursts.  They each did them a little different, and they turned out great:

Amazing Grace

Grace is a garage-sale-lover.  When she gets bored, or wants money, she sets up a garage sale in her room.  She merchandises everything very well (there may be a future there), prices everything accordingly (usually her prices are steep, so be prepared to bring lots of cash), and stays open all day long (or until we need the benches back).

Also, she is great at snorkeling, and looks fabulous in goggles.
