One cute project I found was mitten making :) So Sunday night our little family sat around our kitchen table making mittens. Each of their mittens tells their individual story. You can imagine the stories....
Jack lasted about two seconds. And those 2 seconds consisted of Mark holding his hand on the file folder and tracing the outline of his mitten. As soon as he was set free he left to play cars and trains. Which, of course, left Mark and I to make, cut out and put the yarn on his adorable little set of mittens. (I really wish the pictures turned out better!)
Kate needed some help but at least stayed till the end of her project. She sat while I traced her hand. I cut them out and then she told me how to put the yarn on. Totally my daughter. Pink of course.
And Kale? Well he was able to trace and cut out and put his own yarn on his mittens. As for any kind of pattern? Not so much. He pretty much mushed on the colors of yarn that he wanted.
And in the end it was Mark
and I
with our mittens, kid scissors, stick glue and yarn taking a few creative moments to ourselves and finishing up our elementary art projects while the kids ran around playing. Aaaaaaaah craft night at the Palmer's...
