On Tuesday, I asked my 6th graders to somehow represent the reason that we have seasons. I left it rather open ended because I love to see what they come up with on their own without my “guidelines.” So..today I come in and several groups decided that painting boxes was the first step in their processes. It was messy, a bit disorganized, and WONDERFUL. I feel like my class is alive when the kids get to do activities like this…I just wish I could keep the paint a bit more contained like it looks like your children have done!

Looks delicious. I’d like to give them a try.

I tried making eggless date scones the other day, and they turned out quite well.

Found the recipe @

I have always enjoyed painting with my 2 kids when they were younger! My daughter always ended up mixing all of her colors together and ending up with brown lol. My son was born with CP, so his paintings were usually done by me painting his hands and putting hand prints all over the paper. I grew up with a neighbor who always did so many crafts (she is the one who taught me how to crotchet), so I have always wanted to instill crafts in my childrens lifes too. (play dough was something we made weekly for the longest time) and for fathers day, the kids and I would go for a nature walk and collect leafs/twigs to paint and make small books for him.
Your children look like they are having a ball! It will be a memory they will remember when they are older and have kids of there own I am sure!

Thank you for sharing your family with us! I only have two children, but they are only 11 months apart. (My sons are now 33 & 34.) Your pics made me remember those days. I’d like to do it over again–but better. It sounds like you, however, are doing a great job the first time! Deb

Hi – I don’t comment on many sites but had to on your site. It’s fantastic! I really like how you write – very to the point, unlike a lot of other blogs. Thanks for having this site. I found your site while looking for another one on about.com. I don’t have time to read everything right now, but I have bookmarked this site and will come back very soon to see what’s new. I love reading about cooking, it is my favorite hobby. The recipes on your site are incredible. I can’t wait to try them out on my family. They think I’m nuts (and maybe they are right lol) when they see me at work in the kitchen. Visit my site if you’d like to read more. Keep up the great work!

They look great, Diane. We’ve always made hungry jack (I know, the shame of it all…LOL). Can’t wait to try this someday.
