Pinwheels

In preparation for Memorial Day weekend, the older 2 ducks made red, white, and blue pinwheels this afternoon (Thanks Dianna for the great idea!!). We used double-sided tape to hold them together instead of glue and I have to say: I AM A NEW FAN. I think we will be using this tape much more during our crafting adventures.


While we were making the pinwheels, the girls and I discussed Memorial Day and how we can show appreciation to our servicemen and remember those who have served. The girls got into the idea and while I was making dinner, they created an American Flag "doormat" for the Captain to see when he came home (we'll cover flag etiquette when they're
a bit older).
