As we approach the end of the summer the girls are out of day camps, classes, etc. So we have been trying to find things for them to do around the clinic that they might think are interesting.

They thought this was a lot of fun for a couple of reasons, not the least being that they get to cut stuff up to their little hearts' content and make a huge mess. Mandy and I were able to get some work done during all of this too with very little supervision required.
