Spring, Sprang, Sprung!
I don't know what it is about spring, but every year around this time, I get this burst of creative energy. I am busting at the seams with ideas. Kicky and I have decided to finally write the book we've been talking about for over a year now. We've decided to use Esmee's Friday afternoon chess hour to work on it. I am also prepping to work on the first grade art project for the fund raising auction. (Each child is going to make a sun print fabric square, and then I'll assemble them into a quilt.) I spent an hour at the fabric store this morning. So many possibilities! This morning I put together a three ring binder to keep kids' project ideas and started going through a whole bunch of old magazines to start filling it. (Our own Play Book.) As I was doing this, I came up with the BEST summer plan. I think I'm going to find a used video projector and turn our backyard into a theatre. I don't think it has to be too expensive, and how awesome would that be? I have visions of the girls and their friends camped out in the backyard under the stars watching movies. Our own little drive-in theatre. Anyway..to many ideas to put down.

I think that's an awesome idea! I would have loved that as a child, and where you're living now has the perfect weather for it! I say go for it--only question is whether you're going to tell the girls or have it be a surprise. :)
By the way, I know I haven't commented on this a lot, but I still read and love this blog.
Definitely a surprise. We found a projector for about $175 that should work. Now we just need a popcorn maker! I used to love the drive-in movies as a kid. This will be the next best thing, I think!
We've done that at friends' houses and the kids really love it. One of our friends projects their movie onto the wall of the auto mechanic next door--he even let them paint a white screen. Fun summer, for sure!
I can't wait. I may not wait.
