Adoption Update


We will be fostering and possibly adopting two little boys soon! They are 4 and 2. They should be moving in with us before the end of June, if all goes according to plan.


Sabrina drew a picture to decorate their room. The two year old likes dinosaurs.

Seedling Theatre- More Willy Wonka Props

Sabrina and I have continued to make props for the upcoming Willy Wonka play.





These lollipops are dollar store jump ropes cut min half and hot glued. I made the green one and Sabrina made the others.





We each made a box of chocolates. They are small Christmas ornaments painted brown with puffy paint for the W's.

Can you tell she doesn't like the mask?



We got McDonald's, through the drive thru, of course, and ate at a park.

Walks

Seedling Theatre- Willy Wonka Props

Sabrina and I have volunteered to make props for Seedling Theatre's Willy Wonka play at the end of July. We are making the candy store. We volunteered for several reasons; we need a project to work on, this counts as Sabrina's art class, and to help Seedling Theatre.







We both made Marshmallow Pops and Twisty lollipops from Model Magic. I know that Marshmallow Pops didn't exist at the time of the story, but we had the materials to make them and this is also Sabrina's art class. Besides, if they aren't used in Willy Wonka, they can be used in other plays.






We also made Swirl Lollipops from dollar store jump ropes. We cut the jump ropes in half for these and hot glued them. You could use the whole jump rope, if you strengthen it so it doesn't flop over. The cut ends have frayed a bit, so we need to fix them.
