We have been a little obsessed with cement projects around here. We decided that we would make some cement bricks for the children to paint. And that the new patio needed some color, some pattern, some fun. So Family home evening activities for a couple of weeks were messy fun.
The saw was too loud for Regan so he watched Jon cut boards to make boxes from inside the house. He was excited when it was time to hammer the boxes together. Monday nights we have dance class, dinner, then family night. So Kaylee is in her dance clothes until bath/bed time. She was so cute hammering her box together, and them helping to mix the cement up in her dance clothes. You can never be too fancy while doing DIY projects. I love her dirty dance butt. She had fun hammering out air bubbles. Regan was over the activity at this point and inside watching a show. These two were so adorable making cement bricks.
The following Monday The children painted the brick while Jon and I started the paint job on the new patio.
If you look closely you can see the start of our painters tape fun. The children enjoyed watching us figure out how to lay out our pattern while playing and getting very dirty on the play set.
