We're a Family of Rocks

As a stay-at-home mommy to Little B and Little E, I'm always in search of fun and enriching activities to do with them. We spend the majority of our days playing in the backyard with the water hose, tee-totering on the see-saw (thanks Ana White!), or enjoying our newly installed swing area (more on that later). And today was no exception, but Little B was begging to go the park.

Upon arrival, Little B immediately started gathering a little family of rocks. I've been wanting to do a rock painting project for a while, and with Father's Day quickly approaching, the timing couldn't be more perfect. We will create a Rock Family for Daddy!

My sweet husband, Adrian, literally travels for a living...as a Corporate Pilot. In fact, he is currently in Aspen, CO probably enjoying the summer birch trees and biking the trails, or more likely sitting in his hotel room waiting for the time to pass. The little ones and I had a conversation about how much Daddy misses us when he is gone on trips, and how much we miss him in return. We thought it would be a great idea to create a rock family that could travel with him during his long trips!

Here we are! Little B helped glue on the googly eyes...the most fun part of any project. (Little E was already asleep). And I absolutely adore the rocks he painted by himself, Fishy 1 and Fishy 2.

So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and gather your little family of rocks for the Daddy in your life. I think they would be a great addition to any office, or cockpit for that matter.
