It has been a busy few weeks in the Nordican household.
We celebrated Madison's 12th birthday this past weekend with pottery painting and sleepover - Of course a party wouldn't be complete without nail painting, hair crimping and lots of giggling until 2 am!
This also marked Morgan's first painting experience. She seemed to be a pro...she chose a puppy (her favorite) and painted for about 1 1/2 hours straight! What an attention span! Of course, we think she had approximately 18 coats of paint on her little doggie head... he may be a little 'top heavy' when he's complete!
This past week also brought the yearly 6th grade Renaissance Faire - a very fun day with booths set up and many "wares" for sale. Part of this study included the annual castle making. Madison's creation included sugar cubes - LOTS of them and spray paint. Her moat was made from Elmer's glue and food coloring - it worked great (a little helpful hint for those lucky parents who haven't had the opportunity to create one of these yet)! Here is her finished product:
