project 8 :: gulf coast oil spill

project 8 :: gulf coast oil spill

This looks to be a great project! Eeva & Ian have been talking about the oil spill for weeks now. They are so concerned about the marine animals. Last week during drawing time Eeva created a picture of a Sea Turtle but to my surprise colored the background black. When I asked her if the turtle was in a cave she said "no Mommy, she's stuck in the oil spill". My heart was broken =( Please check out this link & if you can send in as many wash cloths, towels & dawn detergent that you can!

(( this moment ))



A Friday ritual. A single photo-no words- capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your moment in the comments for all to find and see.

Blessings on a Beautiful Weekend!

Bubbles

One rainy day under the cover of the front porch Eeva-Liisa & Austin began a quest to create HUGE bubbles. After many tries and a little frustration & disappointment they both were able to blow big beautiful bubbles! It was wonderful to watch this unfold. You could see how excited and proud they both were each time a bubble broke free from the wand and floated up into the air. Some popped right away, some floated really high. It was a great rainy day activity that kept them engaged for over 45minutes =).
Come with me; forget your troubles.
We'll take some soap and make some bubbles.
