Lots of glitter and puzzles

So, I didn't take a lot of pictures during the Aunt/Nurse time over the past couple weeks. Maybe I had my mind on other things. Maybe I questioned my ability to even use a camera. Whatever the case may be, there was one event that warranted immediate camera use.

At some point, as I was sitting half awake/half asleep on the couch, Lisa and Ashlyn were coloring on the coffee table. I noticed Ashlyn look over at me and notice that I wasn't completely coherent. She then made her move. "Lisa, let's go do a project." Simple enough. I came out of my fog enough to realize that she was trying to get Lisa into my office where the glitter and glue reside.

Having no ability, or desire to do much more than exist in my foggy state, I told Lisa where she could find the "project" stuff.

It seemed that I was in and out of it for a while when I noticed that they were still in my office. I got concerned. And, I got the camera. Here's what I found...



Walking in...seemed harmless enough...



I said, "Ashlyn, let me see your hands" and here's what I got...


You can see a little on Lisa's hands - nothing in comparison to the little one, but she is probably still finding sparkles on herself!


Lisa's project...she does nice glitter work!



Concentrating on her use of glitter...



SO happy with sparkles!





Relocating the pile of glitter...Probably thinking something like - wow, Mommy NEVER lets me have this much! They had the glitter containers open to "pour" not "shake"...



Notice the top of the glue stick - also covered in glitter!




This one is from tonight. Colson, in his night time undies and a shirt, with all the puzzles he's completed in the past 2 nights after dinner...







Night night for now!

Now if only we could somehow get Colson to organize his completed puzzles instead of just having them lying about all over the room....
