6.1.14: Keeping busy

Today Brant left for Santa Barbara for five weeks.  We had been talking about his big trip for a while now and I think I was more worked up about it than anyone.  Needless to say, we needed to stay very busy - distractions are good.  We made tie dye shirts, painted bowls, and established target practice on our wall.  I always try to set myself up for success when Brant is gone, getting groceries ahead of time, laundry done, etc - somehow I thought making tie dye shirts was a good idea.  I was very wrong.  outside wind + 30 little fingers + fabric dye + one parent = not a good idea  :)

Target practice (daphne, fiona, stella)

 
Tie dye shirts rolled up 'setting'

Hand painted bowls

Lesson learned - even with plastic gloves fabric dye can get you
