Summer Talent

A couple of times a week, my kids have "Craft Class." Their instructor, Yours Truly, is the best. She is (sometimes) patient, kind, mild-tempered and only once has said the "mom word" during class.

Tuesday's project was decorating containers to hold our plastic forks/knives for our July 4th Water Baseball BBQ.

(Ellie's was given to Nana as a gift, before a photo could be taken.)

When the containers were finished, Megan and Luke moved onto bigger and better things. Hours-yes hours spent-making their own projects.

Megan-hair clips for her girl cousins to wear on the 4th July. With a borrowed hot glue gun, scraps of patriotic ribbon, creative imagination, and lots of patience produced some darling hairclips.


Luke-after SIX hours spent in the garage, produces a "cupboard" for Mom. Luke quickly put the cupboard to use and has two pairs of my pants hanging from the top. It now sits proudly in my bedroom.
Yours Truly, is thinking about resigning from her position as Craft Class Instructor.
Who needs me, when obviously their interests and talents surpass covering tin cans?

  3. Remember our conversation about how everyone else seems like Mother of the Year? This is a prime example - you always win in my book!
