CRAFT DAY WITH THE KIDS

The kids and I hopped on over to Tom and Carol's house a few days ago when Katie was in town visiting. It was a fun opportunity to display our collective creative prowess as a Poch family. I had been thinking of it for awhile, since Katie is so crafty, and since the kids love being at Grandma and Grandpa's so much!

Here Katie and Nina are painting egg carton flowers. They are so adorable... pipe cleaner stems and all.


Carol is making homemade gummies with them! I had no idea that it was even possible. You press your own shapes in cornstarch, then pour the hot gummy mixture on it and let it set.


I'm helping Ian with an ocean landscape. His watercolor background was even more beautiful than the demo I made! Yeah... I've got a budding Monet on my hands.

Nina's putting her favorite pink sparkly markers on a flower cutout.


Ian with the finished product. He was so proud!

As we were in the beginning stages of our crafty pandemonium, Carol said, "It looks as if this is a craft day for the three adults more than the kids!" because she, Kate and I were busily prepping our craft projects. It was a humorous moment. But as soon as we had everything all set, the kids were diving in with us and wonderful memories were made! Mission accomplished.
