a december day
Last night the kids started these lanterns. Today I beefed them up with a few more layers for fear they'll collapse when we let out the air.
So today's main activities seem to be watching the glue dry and the snow fall with a little hot cocoa thrown in for good measure. Oh, and batting around the spare balloons.
Simple pleasures, friends. Simple pleasures.

yes, those simple pleasures are often the best.

i did a similar project yesterday at school w/ the kids. dipping string/yarn in glue and wrapping it around a balloon. i had to remind myself to be patient when my hands were covered in glue and trying for ten minutes to get a knot out of the string.
your project looks much more sane. :)
