Aaron and I went to Community Art Night at Jefferson Elementary. Several Parents started an art group and are creating installations throughout the school. Art Night was a school and community event. There was a tremendous amount of energy and creativity. Kids, parents, friends, teachers were all making incredible treasures including birds made from discarded library book. Many of the creations from art night will be installed throughout Jefferson. Check out some of the video below...

Girls Night

Friday night it was just me and the girls. We played games, made paper poofs in orange and black for Halloween, and most successful was our chocolate project. The girls picked out chocolate molds and we spent nearly an hour mixing colored chocolate, painting the molds and creating white chocolate frogs and teddy bears in all colors.


Its a quick and easy project to do with kids as little as two or three. Even better, both girls were occupied and happy and I was able to sit with them and make white chocolate leaves while they carefully chose their palette and discussed when the candies would be ready to eat. We had so much fun!
