2012 Advent Calendar: Dec. 7th

Dec. 7

Ayla volunteered and supported her friends who were hosting a Family Christmas Craft Night at a local elementary school. She said the kids were very hyper and crazy. I was proud of her for giving up her Friday evening, following a very long day of school and the staff vs. students volleyball match. I made the mistake of casually asking Evren, hey buddy, do you want to go pick up a craft at Michael’s? Skip ahead to two hours later when I’m still held hostage in an arts and crafts store with a 9-year old… he was being so sweet it was hard to be the mean mom and force him to leave. We did pick up a couple of crafts but by the time I got both kids home it was straight to bed for everyone. The kids finished their crafts together, in the morning.

2012 Advent Calendar: Dec. 4th

Our virtual craft project (to fit in on a busy homework night) was to collect our favorite Christmas images so we could enjoy them all month. I have a digital photo frame in the kitchen that I use to display some of my favorite art (when I remember to turn it on) and I thought it would be fun to change it up for the holidays! We aren’t quite done but it will look something like this…

Auto Museum, Mar 2012

Ayla had a weekend of sleepovers and trips to the movies so I decided to treat Evren to a different kind of museum…

Birds!

Freaky!  The recent evenings near our favorite shopping area have been overwhelmed with these birds – the air is buzzing and the atmosphere seems charged.  What in the world?!

Sculpture Museum, Feb 2012

Ayla was on a camping weekend having tons of fun and Evren and I weren’t happy just sitting at home… so we visited one of our favorite places in the city.  Then he convinced me to go to the Art Museum across the street also.  I had to stop him when he just assumed we were going to the Asian Museum as well… I love museums too, but moderation!

Family Art Day 2012

This is one of our favorite annual events.  This year Ayla was old enough to be a volunteer and Evren did as many crafts as he could in 2 hours.  Great way to spend a weekend morning!
