blame it on the rain . . . let's go fly a kite . . .

Greetings all,
How are you finding the weather on the Eastern Seaboard lately??  Bit blustery, hail, floods, insanity.  So long as the rain falls in the catchments & is shared with farmers . . . I'm happy to entertain children who don't like television with indoor activities!! 
Had this brilliant idea when i saw these plain wooden Russian Nesting Dolls, to buy half a dozen & next rainy day, let the children paint them.  This set is for my husband, each child in order, painted one (note: the boy is 4th & his doll is a bit light on fine detail).
  

plain wooden Babushkas $5 per set at Typo
we had to get out in between down pours & fly the kite in the gale force winds . . .
only the boy stopped the kite with his forehead moments after a 'before' shot was taken safely at home.

nothing is as funny as watching 4 children run like crazy looking up & slamming into each other
i spent my time strapped to this puppy who thought the kite was a giant butterfly &
knocked me over several times chasing it, like the children, running like crazy, looking up!!

& this big girl is off to camp, have fun!!
Just a litte note about the Oscars/ Academy Awards, did anyone else find Tom Hanks' announcing the Best Picture winner a bit quick & uneventful, like he was ripping off Avatar's bandaid the most painless way??  Ouch!!  Shame i can't see the Hurt Locker, my husband saw it last week, he suggested i do not - did you know Guy Pearce is in it too, in the beginning, doesn't end well for him . . . why not torture me with Dear John while you're at it.  Any other war movies & love stories on at the moment??  Oh i know, Meatloaf's latest album . . . no kidding . . . songs from a wounded soldier trying to find his way home to his wife Jennie - are you SERIOUS!!  Have a lovely week people, love Posie
