Cardboard Violin







Caleb had been wanting to make a violin for the longest time...so I finally gave in:)

They had so much fun with it! A couple nights ago, Courtney accidently bent it and made it too weak to hold the rubber bands any longer. Caleb came in with tears in his eyes and told me what had happened. He was devastated and poor Court felt horrible. I explained that cardboard violins weren't inteded to last forever, but I'm guessing I haven't heard the end of this one:)

Larin, what an unexpected surprise! I haven't been blogging for several weeks and haven't checked others blogs either. You've since turned into a blogging princess! How fun it is to read your blog and see how much fun you are having with home school. Makes me wish we were closer!!!! Way to go with TJed! You are an inspiration in more ways than one. Love you!
