<span style="color: blue;">We painted today with some homemade watercolors. He really slathered it on! LOL! While the paper was still wet, we layed some crumpled up cellophane on top of our painting. We set it aside and let it dry. We then removed the cellophane and discovered the fun geometric shapes left on our paper. </span></div>

<span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">Jacques Brandenberger, a Swiss chemist, was not trying to
make something to cover your pork chops in 1908. He worked in a French textile
firm and was looking for a way to make a stain proof tablecloth. He tried
coating the cloth with a thin sheet of viscose film. No one would buy the
tablecloths, but Brandenberger realized that the sheet of film held
possibilities. It took him ten years to develop a machine that would produce
what he named cellophane. He patented the production process and called the
company La Cellophane. The name came from combining "cello," from
cellulose, with "Phane," from the French word diaphane, which means
transparent. Cellophane became available to the public in 1919. In 1927 a
waterproof lacquer coating was developed that made it more useful. With the
lacquer coating, cellophane could be used to package food, since it was
airtight and waterproof.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">If you have read this blog for any length of time, you may be familiar with my Little Mister's health issues. Recently we had another bone age X-ray done (along with tons of other tests). I used this simple craft I've seen online to kind of get him ready to have another "picture" taken of his hands.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I traced his hand with chalk on a black piece of construction paper. Then we used pieces of Q-tips and glued them down for bones.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Here is a simple and super cute card to make with your little ones for Valentines Day!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">First, fold a piece of construction paper in half. Place your kiddos hand where the thumb and pointer finger are touching the fold of the paper. Then, trace their hand. Cut out the hand next , but be sure not to cut the connection of the fingers on the fold. Once you open the hand you should see a heart!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Glue the hands on another piece of paper and add a personal message! Ta-Da, You have a cute card to give to someone special for Valentine's Day.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><u><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>The Science behind the play</b></span></u></span>:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">You are actually making foam AND heat.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The foam here is special because each tiny foam bubble is filled with oxygen (O2). The yeast acted as a catalyst - or helper - to remove the oxygen from the Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2). Since this happens very fast, it created LOTS and LOTS of bubbles. </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">You might have also noticed the bottle getting warm. This experiment created a reaction called an Exothermic reaction. Simply meaning it released or created heat.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The foam created is just water, soap and oxygen so it is easily cleaned up and any remaining liquid in the bottle can be poured down the sink!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">FUN and SAFE!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">My pastor was teaching in the book of Ephesians the other night. He said something that struck a cord in me and has been bouncing around my head ever since.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">God made a check list for us to follow when putting on his whole armor. In part, the Belt of Truth to protect our loins. What are the loins but the reproductive part of us. In the Hebrew, it can also mean our imaginations. We "dream" things up and then act upon those dreams to make it a reality. Much like an architect imagined the skyscraper; the same as an artist imagining what will become of the lump of clay they are starting to mold.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The hard part these days is guarding the imaginations of our young ones. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In a world so bent on corruption, how can we afford to let our guards down where our children are concerned.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Violent video games, movies, books, even cartoons all seek to distort our children's imaginations.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">To corrupt them in a</span> way that their imaginations are no longer pure and innocent.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We were in a store yesterday. One we frequent often (most of the workers know and love my Little Mister)! On this particular day, he had found a treasure. One that astonished everyone we saw. Why, you may ask. Simply because it wasn't a toy. No car, truck, coveted house or even clothes or boots.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">He found a small bag for popcorn. You would think it was made of gold. He was so proud of his treasure. He showed it to every lucky person who happened to pass our buggy. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Once we got home with his $0.15 prize, he piled up in a recliner and happily watched Mickey Mouse and munched popcorn. Obviously it tasted much better when served in a small paper bag!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Something small and insufficient to others may be the very thing to make us smile!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> My Little Mister has a fascination with houses; pink, blue, Barbie Dream house or Lego's castle makes no difference to his big imagination! This totally urks my husband! Standing in a toy aisle in a store, I hear, "It's pink! Don't let him play with that!"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I just have to laugh! Who laid down the law that boys wear blue and only play with cars while little girls, decked out in pink, wear mini aprons and dress up dolls all day! Please! I grew up with all boy cousins! I hated Barbie and refused to wear pink until I was 30!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

O.K., we have this group of pre-school kiddos at my church that get together at least once a month to do crafts, just play or go on field trips. Last month, we got together and made special Christmas cards which we were going to deliver to two of the apartment complexes in town that house elderly folks. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a good time making the cards. Each child traced hands and feet enough to make three cards apiece.</div>

These are Little Mister's cards! CUTE!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, December rolls around and we had to reschedule our first date because of rain.... and it kept raining!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, a date was set AND every child cried the entire time we were delivering the cards! What are the odds, EVERY kid? My child is a people lover and he even wanted me to hold him almost the entire time! He would not even hold one of the cards.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Isn't that just like kids?! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh well, the Mommy's laughed and had a good time anyway!</div>

We were at a friends house the other day and I happened to notice a few empty Sprite 2-liter bottles laying around. She apparently loves the stuff! Anyway, we brought a few home and I cut the tops off with a craft blade. For some reason they looked like trees to me!</div>

We decorated our mini trees with beads and pom-pom's.They made cute little decorations on our bar during a Hot Chocolate Get-Together with a few friends. </div>

Some folks even took one of the up-cycled trees home!</div>

<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">My daddy has a little bit of everything growing in his yard. <span style="color: black;">However, </span>Little Mister has always loved his little lemon tree. This year we brought a few home and decided to make a 'new' Christmas tradition around here.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">First, we rolled the lemon and squeezed it to get the insides all juicy. My little guy really enjoyed this part!!</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">When I could talk him into giving me back the lemon, I cut a small X on one side. I carefully inserted a candy cane which, by the way, I had cut both ends off. [Cutting the cane allows the exposed porous ends to easily become a straw.]</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">The candy cane's sweetness helps the "tang" of the lemon somewhat!</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">As you can see by the pictures, He really enjoyed it.</span></b></div>
