We enjoyed family time at a local park. The playground was closed due to COVID, but the Splash Pad was open. At first our littlest guy didn't really like the water at all, but he eventually got over it.

Uptown Jungle
We took the little boys to Uptown Jungle as one of our first outings with them. Sabrina had a Prop Making Class at Seedling Theatre the next week, so we got the month pass and I brought the little boys several times during her class.

Seedling Theatre- Willy Wonka- Boxes of Chocolate
I made a box of chocolates for the Willy Wonka play, (the first play I made props for). I liked how it turned out so I instructed Sabrina on how to make a box too.
The boxes were from a gift set and included the shredded paper. The Chocolates are Christmas ornaments that I cut off the hanger part and we painted brown. We used puffy paint for the drizzle.Once they dried, we glued them in the small cupcake liners and glued that to the box. It's simple, but looked real enough that several people thought they were real.

Seedling Theatre- Willy Wonka- Gumball Machine Prop
Sabrina made an awesome gumball machine. I found plans for a similar one on-line and modified it for being on stage. https://sugarbeecrafts.com/diy-gumball-machine-incentives
To make it stage friendly we swapped the glass and clay for plastic planter and a plastic fish bowl. We also used Styrofoam balls that we painted for gumballs. This is the only part that I helped with; Sabrina did the rest of it by herself.
Thanks to COVID there was no live performance. However, we did get a picture of Sabrina's props onstage ready for use in the play. She made many of the props on the Willy Wonka candy wagon.

Our Little Boys
Our boys moved in back in June. Needless to say life has been very different and very busy the last few months. They are four and two years old. They have to live with us for at least six months before their adoptions can be finalized.
