One day last week, I ran into town to go grocery shopping. I left the boys at home with a clear list of schoolwork to complete.
And since my valiant fellas oooooze with strict obedience, following instructions with exactness, and beam with integrity.... this is what I found upon returning home...
A mess,
a HUGE colossal mess!
a HUGE colossal mess!
A mess that had 'Christian' written ALL over it!
The heavy duty glue, hot glue gun, and power tools gave him away.
The story went something like this:
'Mom, before you blow your top... listen... cause I really think you'll be happy about this.'
Seems while Christian was finishing lunch he was eating some nuts and was overcome with shear brilliance, or so HE termed it.
And what could this brilliance be?
Mice!
Which of course turned into a very messy Mouse making factory, with Christian as the foreman.
He cranked out a whole Legion of the critters.
And it so happens, I did decide he would be forgiven for his colossal mess,
cause I ended up gluing his cutey creations on top of some candles... adding a cute tag... and giving these as goodies to the attendees at the Barn Tree Trimmin' Saturday night.
Ty, upon seeing that Christian was spared his life after his creative outburst,
decided he had to do some nut creations of his own.
His nut of choice was peanuts.
Can you tell what it is?
Hint:
EeeeEeaaaWWWWWW!
And one little donkey turned into an entire manger scene...
Complete with Joseph, Mary, and the baby Jesus.
Please note in the top left... a camel, hump and all.
A goat and sheep round out the whole ensemble.
Ty could not last a week without using popsicle sticks in some form or fashion.
And so the crowning glory... the star!
Oh Holy Night!
