A reminder

With kids present, things do not go as planned. Yesterday we painted our bat houses made in the Clear Spring School woodshop and I failed to make clear what my intentions were, that they decorate, rather than paint the whole things. And so with milk paints in hand, they got carried away. 

It was also a reminder that I can lower my own stress level by having them paint outside rather than inside the wood shop where stray splatters of pain fall on our beautiful floor.

Note to self... Kids and paint need to be mixed in a carefully  controlled environment. In any case, the bat houses (four of them) are decorated and ready for installation and occupation by bats.

Make, fix and create...
