Mix a small amount of tempera paint and regular white school glue. We put them in squeeze bottles, but you can also use a paintbrush.


You can paint freehand or...


Put a simple picture under a page protector and paint...

Let dry very very well. Peel off and stick to window.

Camping!!!!

We love camping! We went out to the Estancia again, but a different place because it was too cold to be fording the river at night. We had so much fun!


Keeping the chili warm. I love cast iron pans!

The boys buried Peter up to his neck.... Took him a while, but he finally made it out!

The kids found a really fun spot to play in the water. It has a small rapids and then the water swirls up against the land and swirls back around and out... It was soo fun!
