We had such a wonderful day today, I REALLY needed the fun that we had too. For the last week, my life (and Mike's) has revolved around Coraline. Making sure that she has meds on time, making sure her fingers are out of her mouth, making sure that she is taking enough fluids, getting enough food, etc etc etc. Today, Mike's mom called and asked if we wanted to go to Lodi Outlets for lunch and shopping. Part of me, was hesitant, but the "I need to do something fun" won out. I loaded the kids up in the car and went down. I have to say i am SO happy that I did! Coraline was fine, she even napped while we were on the train. But, spending the entire day out of the house really ate into craft time. And, that left me coming home at 5:15, looking through my craft drawers for something to make.
The second drawer I opened i found these little stick things that Mike bought me for Christmas. Even he told me at the time that he had no idea what we would do with them, but that he thought they were cute. I figured with some markers, some foam stickers, and a few pom-poms and they could be a really fun craft for the girls. Very personalized, and individual for them. Something to really let their imaginations and creativity run free.
We used a TON of glue, but here is what we ended up with! I think it was a great craft for the girls, it kept their interest and they enjoyed it.
