So just to update you all on the outcome of the Karma Award Project, indeed just moments after posting a member of our Garage came by to ask if we were doing anything in the garage. I told her about the sick neighbor and she immediately agreed to help mow the lawn. The lawn was two feet high, and there was a lot of garbage strewn around. Moreover, I have a manual push mower, so it is not an easy job even under the best of circumstances. She started by just using the weed-wacker, to get some of the most egregious thick sections. Then went to work with the manual mower. It didn't take long for the other kids to come and help out. Soon there were ten of us on the small lawn, mowing, trimming, sweeping and picking up trash. It was a beautiful sight. I wanted to do plaster again, and since we are having an end of school slime party next week, I thought to do it today. I let the boys go first, with hopes that I could hold their attention and they would have a great product.
Check out some of their work. This one is a winner. Fleece baby blankets soaked in the plaster and then molded around bowls and planters. I think we will have some great success. Fingers crossed for the unmolding!
