Artsy Crafty

My friend Heather and I were talking last night as I was doing an impromptu visiting teaching...she's leaving Tuesday for 3 weeks!! Anyway, we were talking about mothers that really try and do things with their kids, moms that play with their kids and could care less about chores because your kids grow up so fast. And how easily pleased kids are with doing more or less "lame" crafts. So this morning I got some of my craft stuff out which included:

• pom poms


• googly eyes


• kidney beans


• $1 store stickers


• markers and glue

And Eva was ECSTATIC! She had the best time gluing everything onto paper and creating little pieces of art. I decided that Elle she have a chance too, so for Ellie's b-day my mom and dad got her this huge coloring book for toddlers and these special little things that hold crayons for toddler hands, so today was the day I finally pulled it out for her to try. She loved just holding the little crayon holders but after a little bit she saw what I was doing and tried it for herself. I got one pic before my camera batteries died, so no pics of Eva, sorry Eva fans.
