I was sitting watching Lucas's favorite show with him this morning as I usually do, and right before it was over I realized that we hadn't done a project in a long time. At my house Lucas only get's an hour of TV in the morning so this was perfect timing. I went into my recipe box of ideas and pulled one out, and I have decided that every Monday from now on we will be doing Music Mondays. If you want to join us, just call me and we can set up a music date!
This week we made water xylophones.
We opted to do 6 instead of 8 and it worked out just fine. We filled up each mason jar with 1 cup and each one got one more cup until we reached 6 cups.
Then we put food coloring in them, to make them look cool.
Then we headed outside and went to town. I love Bridget pooping in this last picture! Hahaha.
We played music for about an hour talked about the Jamaican sounds and then had a picnic lunch in the grass. Bridget wasn't really into it, so I let her bang on my metal bowls and we had a mini band outside. I wish I had my harmonica! It's packed away somewhere, DANG!
Here is Lucas concentrating...
Happy Monday everyone!
you have a funny typo!!! hahaha... I wouldn't think that 'pooping' in a picture would bee that funny :)
ReplyDeleteHey! Every time you post something it makes me want to steal your ideas. Where do you get these awesome ideas? I love it!!! Kylie says she wants to go to Lucas's house to play the jars too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! How fun. Now I'm going to be looking for jars!
ReplyDeletecool idea!!! and i actually have mason jars around here! woo hoo!
ReplyDeletesend me an e-mail when you do a new one...i'm totally in!
Awesome idea. As usual, you are incredibly clever. Liam would probably skip the music part and go straight to drinking out of the jars, haha. I am sure you already know this, haha.
