Yarn Dyeing

We recently attended a yarn dyeing party hosted by one of our good friends.  It was quite fun for the kids!  Koolaid was used for the dye, which was very interesting.  The kids squirted their choice of color on their yarn.  I was amazed by the way the Koolaid color stuck to the yarn leaving only clear water afterwards!  The yarn turned out beautiful!

And the Award Goes To...

Mr. D! He got second place in archery! I am so proud of him! He did so well, and I'm happy that he has found something he loves to do. The session is over for the summer, but he hopes to earn some money for a bow of his own.

Archery

Drake has been taking archery lessons and loves it! He does really well. It’s a weekly class that was provided by our park district. Every time he comes home, I see a big smile on his face. I decided I should go and watch at least once before the session is over. It did look fun! I felt like trying it out myself! He likes when they get to shoot at balloons or fake animals.
