The week began with Mother's Day. Dragonfly (age 5) painted this flower pot for Grandma. She picked the colors and mixed the blue with white to get a lighter shade. Then, we added the kids thumbprints to the pot to make flowers. Each kid had their own color. I painted the grass and stems on. We got to hand-deliver this present on our road trip.
I had brought the carseats into the house as part of our pre-trip preparations. The kids loved the novelty of having the seats outside of the car. They spent a lot of the week sitting in them and pretending to be on the road trip. Skimmer has been struggling with learning to buckle his seat, but he learned how this week (Montessori practical skills!). They played for hours together while sitting in their seats.
