Valentine's Day Rewind

Okay, here is the plan.
It is Valentine's Day.
Mommy often says we don't do enough crafts at home during the day.



So what are we going to do?

Make our Mommy macaroni necklaces!


These two cute kids, they are going to be the best necklace builders ever!


I went to the store and got two types of pasta.
Cut a bunch of pieces of ribbon.
Filled two soup bowls full of the pastas.
Gathered the kids at the coffee table and......




within 5 minutes, macaroni was everywhere, the kids were sitting and standing on the coffee table, the handle on the one soup bowl was broken, Jagger was hitting the macaroni with his cars, dogs were chewing the macaroni.....



It was a disaster!


Needless to say, the only arts and crafts we are doing moving forward are perfecting the art of taking a nap and watching other people do crafts on TV!!! The clean up is so much easier.


Here is footage of said DISASTER!!!!

I know I need to work on the spacing of the type, but what I see (even in the preview) is not what eventually shows up! The look of it will slowly improve.

The lesson learned with the Vday craft is, you can still make the necklace, you just give each child 1 piece of pasta at a time to string on...not a whole bowl. But, you live and learn! Let me know when my necklace will be ready!
