I've been reluctant about crafting with both of the girls for a few reasons. #1 is that I am afraid Brailie will eat whatever craft medium we are using and the whole thing will turn into a nightmare and stress fest. #2-Allie has never been into crafting for more than 1 minute at a time. Why would I want to put myself through the process with 2? But I had a morning of insanity where I thought I needed to be a better mom and try some organized activities with the girls. So first we made homemade chalk (I'm posting about that tomorrow) and I actually hadn't intended to anything more than that but you have to use paint to make the chalk and so Allie was sure she needed to paint something afterwards. So I rounded up some paper bags (who knew I wouldn't have appropriate crafting materials for kids in my house) and some old t-shirts and we set out to finger paint. Brailie did get more in her mouth than on the paper but I just tried to go with the flow. The whole project lasted I think 5 minutes instead of 1 so that is progress and Allie did ask to do it another day (which also lasted for 5 minutes). Oh well-now we have officially crafted together and I think I might be ready to do more.
