The big kids stayed at Mama and Papa’s house last night, so Truman and Grace requested a play date. Maggie is Truman’s friend, but Grace just adores her, so we were so happy she could come over for the morning.
The kids had a blast digging in the sandbox and playing with the wheel barrel. After a long rainy vacation it was great to see them outside enjoying the fresh air and sunshine. I had fun
taking photos in the back yard and decided they were good enough to frame. 
It didn’t take long before we had a craft project in the works complete with confetti, glue, and glitter!
To make fun photo frames we used…
a frame with a mat
glue
glitter
confetti
magnets
hot glue gun
I uploaded the photos to Walgreen and scheduled a 30 minute pick-up. Then I cut the kids loose to glue the confetti to the mats. When they were happy with their work we brushed the mats with glue one more time and sprinkled glitter over a bowel (that kept clean-up to a minimum). I hot glued the magnets to the back of the frames (be sure to level the magnets so they hang straight) and then ran to Walgreen to pick up the photos. The kids had lunch and by the time I came back everything was dry enough to put together.
Maggie took hers home, and Truman and Grace’s photos have a place of honor in the kitchen.
This was an easy project and lots of fun. Please send photos if you give it a try – we would love to see yours!
