 Opa was the patient, Dr. Sammy and Nurse Mercy tended to his water problems .  They said he was filling up with water, so buckets-ful were carried off.  Tissues were used to soak up the runoff. :)
 Art Time:  It was a snow day today.  Glorious snow day that ended in rain, fog, and no snow on the ground. :) silly weather.

Today's project was Crayon-Wax-Water-Color-Resist.

Beautiful. Easy. Simple.
Kids: put on a glove, grate crayons on a cheese grater. (the glove keeps soft little hands from being grated.... ouch!)
Mom: put out watercolor paper, heat iron.
Kids: sprinkle crayon wax on paper.
Mom: Place wax paper on top of watercolor paper and wax design.  Hot Iron for a very short amount of time.  Take off wax paper.
Kids: take watercolor paper (with melted wax on it) and sit down to paint!
Mom: put out water, watercolors and brushes.  Watch the kids create a masterpiece!
