Sunday xx

Busy morning this morning running around before we picked the kids up -
* trip to the tip to take the boxes and off cuts of wood from the shelves
* Asda for cake making ingredients for tomorrow
* Poundland for spray paint
* car parts shop for windscreen wiper blades (Cassie MOT tomorrow)

I love these jam jars on Pinterest.   The lids have a small plastic animal stuck to them and then they have been spray painted.  I thought I could have a go!

We popped to Poundland earlier and brought some motor spray paint, they had white and black so I got white.  Also, one clean empty jar, glossy accent's to glue an animal to the lid and various plastic animals.  We should have more plastic animals than this but these were the only ones the kids could find.

Once the glue was dry I put the lid and animal in the milk box carrier (the box that holds 6 cartons of milk) and tried to spray one in the box in the kitchen.  Not a good idea as Mark came running down stairs saying it was toxic, flammable and the over spray would go on the cupboards, ooops!  So he took them in the back garden and spray painted them outside instead.  We then left them in front of Fred to dry.

Here is one.......

...........and another................................

I thought of lots of possibilities - 
* a bunny on the lid at Easter and the jar filled with Mini Eggs
* an animal on the lid and the jar filled with little girls hair slides like what I made for Olivia's birthday
* a Lego character stuck to the lid and the jar filled with a small Lego set
* an animal on the lid and the jar filled with buttons, ribbons, cottons, pencils, sweet's etc........

This afternoon Anais and Roman have been playing with the Domino Rally game.  Neither of them had any homework to do this weekend which makes a change.
