transportation week!

make something monday: polka dot transportation
i found the polka dot art idea on pinterest (you are shocked), but the blog is in spanish. it's okay though... the pictures are enough or you can have crazy google translate it for you. anyways, you just make a picture using ink pads and erasers on the end of pencils. i found silhouette photos online for the kids transportation choices (an airplane, rocket, and hot air balloon) and printed and cut them out. then we traced them onto card stock and polka dotted inside the tracing. it's pretty easy and cute.

time to read tuesday: transportation books
there are a lot of forms of transportation. a lot. think about it.

we're going out wednesday: the museum of flight
the museum of flight isn't exactly my cup of tea, but there are some pretty cool things there. you can take a tour of nixon and kennedy's (and some other presidents) air force one. and go inside a replica rocket ship. where astronauts sleep is terrifying by the way, as if that job isn't already the scariest. 






















that's delicious thursday: sugar cookie trucks
the pinterest recipe below is a cookie dough recipe that doesn't spread or grow too much, so it is a goodie for making cookies in shapes. like trucks. 

fun outside friday: meridian playground
so, i originally planned on taking the kids to a park in bainbridge, so we could take a ferry there, but then that started to feel like a crazy excursion. so we went to a park in seattle... and we took a bridge there, so that's something. plus, we went shopping at u-village.
