Making a Volcano, Enjoying your family.
Beauty has her third grade science project due tomorrow! YIKES
So in lieu of paper mache' I am going to use up some old Elmer's glue from our home schooling and party dates. It is working great for a hurry up job of it.
Make your foundations. I use duct tape on cardboard. It has two pieces of brown construction paper taped together then make a slanted tube of it. Tape it over a water bottle (empty).
So generously we poured and painted the glue layered the newspaper and so on.
Dash needed to get in on it so after I got Beauty on a role, I got him set up. I'll let them dry a bit. We all know they will not be dry by morning :) !
We will paint them this evening and let the paint dry...(thinking hair dryer)

O.K. I'm icing my back and my knee(with all I have done today the pain is minimal)... Chillin' out a few before the "Daddy Man" comes home. I hope with news of a bonus or raise... He works so hard for our family. I just stopped at 2pm and prayed for him during his meeting. I am so eager to see if his heart is up after work. It can be hard on him to overcome when they disappoint him. This company has been VERY stingy with raises across board.
Well now it is 7:30 and bed time story is under way Via the "Daddy man".
Tomorrow the world will feel the effects of Volcanic eruptions on the continents:)
Hubby caught me in the middle of thought.
How funny it looks like I'm asleep on my feet.

Hi there and welcome to Wrapped Emotions. I'm happy you've jumped in with us.
Wow, the volcanoes look super and a fun family way to get those projects done.
Any time my husband takes a photo of me, my eyes are closed and my mouth is open. I know I don't always look like that, but he has such a knack. :)
You must have a mountain of patience! What a fun memory this will make.
Welcome to WE!
how fun! i'm sure they'll remember this forever:-)
Great Volcanos! I cringe at Scinece Fair time. I enjoy halping the children with the projects just not the stress of getting them completed in time.
Those volcanos look great! What a good way to spend time with the family and get school projects done!
