Annual Lunch Box Day

Every year our church homeschool group organizes a Lunch Box Day.  Each child gets anothers childs name for who they have to make a lunch box and they can be creative as they can be.  On the appointed day we all get together, bless each other with a lunch 'box' and enjoy eating lunch together
Rein made a baby in her bassinet for a four year old lady.

Pieter made a tree fort, which included a list of rules for the gang
and an extra red cap for anyone wishing to join them in the fun

Hendrik made a tee pee

Complete with Chief, Squaw and baby

Jan really enjoyed making a cabin for a friend!



This is always so much fun!  So much fun that I often had to wonder who was having more fun, me or the boys!  But after a week of felt scraps, paper scraps, paint, paint brushes by the sink soaking in my favorite glass, gravel grit, sticks, scraps of fabric, greenery, stones and the smell of the hot glue gun... I was done!!! 

...but the boys continued on with the fun of creating long after our Lunch Box day was done.  It neat to see what they all create!

I love my children, alot!
