We haven't had an active Activity Day leader for almost a year so I decided I had better do a couple of activities with the girls. A couple of weeks ago we met and had a "getting-to-know-you" activity and decorated cupcakes to give away.
So Friday morning we had a Mother's Day activity--we had 7 girls there. We started with making lip gloss.
We had to put the lip gloss in the fridge to cool & harden so then we turned to making paper flowers &
flower magnets.
Here are a few of the flowers that they did.
After the flowers, we made a hand cream. The girls got to decorate 2 small containers to put their hand cream into.
We also had popcorn & punch while were we working on the different project.
The girls all had a lot of fun. Each girl had at least 2 containers of lip gloss & 2 of the hand cream.
I was just grateful that Brienna was there to help me. I probably could have done it on my own if we had only done either the lip gloss OR the hand cream--but doing both would have been a challenge by myself.
Here is a picture of some of the "extra" lip gloss & hand creams. We made a strawberry/watermelon gloss and also a rootbeer one. The hand creme is a combination of a few lotions, vaseline & vit. E cream.
I just hope I get a leader soon--I'm not sure when the next time I can meet with the girls. It seems like this month is packed full!
Friday afternoon I did some laundry, took the kids to the store, baked cookies for the bake sale, and cleaned a bit. Rusty was at the school for so long that we ended up having toast & burritos for dinner.
