We are learning all about the ancient world this year with Story of the World I and loving it! We've been learning a lot about Egypt, of course, which is completely fascinating. Most recently we have studied the New Kingdom of Egypt, which includes the story of King Tut. So we decided making an Egyptian death mask in the style of King Tut's would be a fun project. First since it was too cold at the time to paper mache in the garage (it probably would have frozen instead of dried-ha) and it was too messy to do it in the house, we decided to pick up a couple of cheap craft masks at Hobby Lobby. Next we cut out cardboard shapes to complete the shape of the death mask, attaching them with hot glue. Vince even put a little detail on the *beard* with the hot glue per The Princess' request. Then the kiddos started to paint them with this metallic gold tempera paint. It worked okay for the cardboard, but would not coat the plastic of the mask. We thought maybe a second coat

Are you going to be in KC for the WME Conf? If so, I'll be there, too (me and the kids, so not a whole lot of free time, but we should hang out!)
Oh, and yes, you can use rolled oats. Enjoy the Sassy Meatloaf!
Yay! I can't wait to see you in KC! My mom and I are doing a booth for my book, so not sure what our schedule will be like, but maybe we can grab lunch...or go shopping (and get the grandma's to babysit!)
I have to say that the pictures of organizing your desk has inspired me! I need to get going with mine..it's awful. Maybe this weekend!
