Do some of you remember the Pet Rock craze years and years ago? Well my family is bringing it back baby! Well sort of.
On our trip to Maine 5 years ago we picked up some smooth rocks along the coast. When I was planning our Summer fun I thought about those rocks and how perfect they would be for painting.
So I got out the paints and brushes and we got to work.
Waiting for inspiration to hit!
Dad found inspiration early. LOL!
I looked at my two rocks and instantly knew what they needed to be?
Any clue?
Ta-dah!
It’s a cute little ladybug!
And my next rock was a no brainer!
It was the perfect Larry the Cucumber shape. LOL!
My two youngest started to feed off of my inspiration and went to work.
Little man made these.
Middle Man made these.
My daughter had the perfect rock to go with my Larry the Cucumber rock. LOL!
Say hi to Bob and Larry!
Busy creating her next pet rock.
This!
Isn’t it cute?
Don’t think I forgot about my hubby. No, he was hard at work creating this.
Yeah, he kind of went in a different direction. LOL!
But we all had a blast making our creations.
Well that’s the Summer Fun update from the homestead!
You got any plans this week?
HAVE A FABULOUS DAY!
LOVE Bob and Larry!!
ReplyDeleteThis is too funny ~ my girls did the same thing a couple days ago! Only they just decorated theirs with markers. (and I forgot about googly eyes!) And then they cut up old boxes and denim scraps to make homes for their rocks ~ I kid you not, it kept them busy for at least three solid hours!!!
We love your rock people. We are going to make some, too. Thanks.

I would love to do these with my grandchildren next time they are over. These are so cute!
