My Ultimate Resolve: to ACTUALLY DO all of those things that I saw on pinterest and thought "Hey, I want to do that"

6. Weather Calendar

For the weekly preschool, I found this SUPER CUTE weather chart on pinterest. Apparently, on the original pin, the link was broken and this wonderful genius woman took it upon herself to make her own (so that I and the many pinners after her don't have to!!!!!!)
I noticed in the comments that one pinner questioned: what would I glue it all to? Well, seeing as how canning season is wrapping up for me:   This.........


Plus this.........
 

Equals this!: 

I did cover the edges of the backer board (the bottom of my quart sized jar box bottom) with scrapbook paper (but just the edges: there is no need to use all that paper just to be covered) and then I covered the entire thing in contact paper. but I just used one sheet of contact paper slightly bigger than the weather chart itself and just folded the edges over (kind of like a book cover). I contact papered the arrows then glued them to clothes pins (clothes pins: the ultimate for fine motor control!!! you can almost see the synapses forming when they look at that clothes pin and try to figure out how to make it work) (pinned 7 days ago)

Even Magnificent Blessing from Heaven #4 thinks it is cool. He wanted to know why there wasn't a foggy picture though.

Motherhood is so worth it.
