Egg-Cellent

Yesterday Ethan had the day off from school. It was a little too chilly to spend any kind of time outside and I was very busy handling a renovation complication. By mid-afternoon I started to fell badly that the kids had done nothing all day.

Thanks to Family Fun I found a last-minute Easter activity--paper mache eggs. A little messy but a lot of fun.
As Adelaide was intently working, her egg brushed up against her forehead leaving a sticky piece of tissue behind. Each time she tried to focus on it her eyes would cross. It was so dang funny. I cannot believe I managed to get a picture.Seeing this had been so funny, Ethan wanted to join in too. His piece of tissue was intentionally placed but his desire to make me laugh was sincere.
I wish I could show a lovely picture of our 3 beautiful eggs, but they cracked and ripped during drying. I was a paper mache dropout in grade school. What made me think this time would be any different? Oh well, we had an hour of fun together and I do not feel compelled to keep the projects hanging around, so win win anyway.

These look way way fun!! I'm so proud of you sitting down and doing the craft with your kids - I need to try that sometime versus leaving them to their own devises when they do their crafts.

That looks like a lot of fun. You can't say you are neglecting your kids. Every time I log on you have done something so fun.
I need to call you to help me with my blog. Jaron said he would because I am so seriously computer dum, but we haven't had the chance.
Anyhow I still enjoy yours.

I never (well, hardly ever) keep crafts either. That's why blogs are good. You take pictures, post them, and throw the craft away. It is much better that way anyway.
