I bought a few art supplies and I plan to start doing some artsy things with them other than coloring although they do love that. On a side note: I thought we were past the eating of the crayons however the blue teeth that Eli was rockin' this morning prove otherwise. I started pretty wimpy today and let them paint with water. I thought it would be a good lesson in how to use the paint brush (they were brushing their hair with it at first) before I take the plunge and actually let them...gulp...paint! I am not neurotic (well, maybe) but the thought of my boys and paint is a little scary. Tomorrow I am hoping to attempt this craft that I discovered over at No Time for Flashcards. This is a great blog for moms of toddlers. I have starred almost all of her posts in my Google Reader.
I am off to bake. I have a girls night out tonight AND I think Jared and I may get out of the house sans kids tomorrow night to watch our girls basketball team BEAT Inter-city! GO WILDCATS!! We have had a rivalry with this school since I was attending and it would be so nice to WIN. We are due but we shall see if it delivers!
I meant to add that I was very excited to get a good amount of craft supplies at Wal-mart for around $10. For those skeptical Wal-mart shoppers "Don't hate, congratulate."
My findings included 4 large paint brushes, 50 googly eyes, 50 clothes pins, feathers, 3 glue sticks and a 10 pack of crayola paints. The paints were $4.97 for 10 and I saw them in a pack of 6 at another store for $5.99. Score!!! Can you tell that I am excited about this stage with the boys? The inner teacher in me has anxiously been waiting for this!

glad u are feeling better and good for you for braving some painting. That craft is cute! I might be inspired although we still eat the crayons ALL the time and I get frustrated.
Yeah for feeling better...I hope to be in your place in a couple of days. I didnt' know that you were a teacher? I am too!
Sounds like you have lots of fun things planned. My daughter
(2 & 1/2) is over the crayon eating stage, but her new thing is Play-d'oh. Glad everyone is feeling better!

All those art supplies look like lots of fun!!! I hope you start to feel better!
Brave mommy! The kids love painting, mommy hates the mess. Oh well, it is fun to get messy. I am glad you are feeling better. Looking forward to seeing you tonight at the game. We are going to be kid-less!! Let's go girls!!!
Thanks for all of the well wishes and I am glad to know that I am not the only one with crayon eaters. :) I haven't braved play-doh yet. I guess that will be my next craft purchase or better yet maybe the boys will get it for their b-day.
