Amazing

Supportive Living Pep Rally

This week is Supportive Living week at our local Nursing Home. They are celebrating their 10year anniversary and all week long they are having activities both morning and evening for the residents. They asked Matt to come and give a speech and bring some of his basketball players and cheerleaders along for the pep rally.
What a riot. We had so much fun talking and waving poms with them. After Matt talked, we all grabbed balloons and headed outside for a grand balloon launch. Then we helped to roll everyone back inside and had a cookie while the cheerleaders did a couple of cheers.
My favorite part of visiting the home is listening to their stories and hearing about all of their grand and great grand children. They talk with such pride about their families. I appreciate how Matt talked to them like they are special and that we value them, because we do.
Anyway, Friday night they are closing Supportive Living week with a Prom. I’m really hoping Matt surprises me with a sitter and we crash the prom.

Sweetness. He was not in the mood for me to take his picture, so he kept on playing his NBA game on the iPad. But, I do love how this picture captured his paintbrush eyelashes and plump lower lip.

1) Unwrap two, new tampons. If you are not a woman, you might need to borrow a couple tampons from a friend. Don’t tell your friend why. 

2) Push open the applicators and pull out the clean tampons. 

3) Put the tampons in a little water and watch them unfurl. It’s magic. It’s a bit like the metamorphosis of caterpillar to butterfly. Yes, this art project should be taught in elementary schools.

4) Let the tampons dry. 

5) Cut off the tampon strings. Save the thicker part of each string for the antennas.

6) Once the cotton has dried, paint it to look like butterfly wings. (Admittedly, I skipped step 4. I didn’t wait for my tampons to dry because I was pretty excited about moving forward with the project. However, I don’t recommend this for non-professional artists.)

Also, please try to make your painting look good. It’s art. If you don’t live near me, you might not know that there are butterflies in my area that look exactly like the one I made. It’s eery how close to the real thing mine looks.

7) Pull apart the tampon applicator so you have just the thin part. People in the tampon biz probably know what this is called but I am not in the industry and do not know the proper name. 

8) Thread the thick part of the two strings up the thin part of the applicator to make antennas. Actually, I think it’s “antennae.” I have to double check the name before this is taught to schoolchildren all over the world. 

9) You could have painted your applicator, but I chose not to because I was getting kind of bored. 

10) Assemble your butterfly. This means putting one wing on each side of the applicator. You probably didn’t even need this step. You probably could have figured this part out on your own. 

11) This is the part where I get to say, “Happy April Fool’s Day.”

P.S. I originally wrote and posted this last April Fool’s Day and the word on the street is that this project is now floating around Pinterest without the April Fool’s message, which is like a DREAM COME TRUE for me. 

Now I have something to do with the kids on their last day of spring break! April Fool’s.

It’s not often, but every once in awhile my Facebook newsfeed doesn’t make me want to punch everyone.

I enjoy PUN-ny humor.
