Week two! We have had a very fun week! We started the week at one of our favorite vineyards helping with their grape harvest. It was a very fun experience! Both kids thought it was super fun, and we learned a lot about the harvest process as we were able to go to the winery afterwards to watch them de-vine and smash the grapes. (Sadly, this was not done by smashing the grapes with your feet as I had hoped.)

Dress Up Time!
A week or so ago, Rainbow Girl and I made home made water color paints. They look great right? That what I thought too. We added water, just as you would do with regular water color paints. The color painted on to the paper very nicely, but when it dried, the color was practically gone and it was puffy and chalky. The second time we attempted painting with the colors, it appeared that all the color was gone. All the color had risen to the top on the paint cups (even after MUCH stirring and using a few more drops of color than in the recipe when making them) and after one time painting, no color was left. We will not be making this recipe again. Please let me know if you have come across one that worked better for you!
