I spent a good part of the weekend working on an order for another mom, creating something beautiful and whimsical for her children (i assume) to play with.
It was rewarding, but I experienced this feeling of, "but wait, what about MY kids!? I have failed in making THEM something beautiful and playful and fun, Boo!
So in between decorating the xmas tree, grocery store runs, housecleaning and endless food production,(seriously, it never ends, the food thing) I made these animals, out of thin foam board, paint, wooden dowels and fasteners, so fast and so fun.
Then we went to the park to play with them, and then to the creek to throw rocks in :)
Malawi crying because Imani wouldn't give him back the polar bear
It was such a nice day out, in spite of the brown and dry vegetation..
sigh.
Then we sang Christmas carols around our newly decorated tree, and went to sleep.
Welcome December
