Rainy Day Fun

This was such a fun craft for a rainy day! Paper dolls. We took 5x7 photos of ourselves in our swimsuits, cut and laminated them (the great thing about this craft is you can cut yourself as skinny as you want to be!) Then we cut outfits out of scrapbooking paper and stuck them on with magnets. As you can see, we now have new decorations for our refrigerator too. (I made a wise decision NOT to post myself in a bathing suit).

I realize Ava looks like a giant here, and it probably looks like she was standing too. We could really freak some people out at the orphanage with that photo. I'll let you use your imagination how we used some trick photography to make that work....

As we were cutting and sticking I said, "Girls, WE ARE SO CREATIVE!" To which Liesel responded, "Mom, actually it wasn't even your idea, you got it out of that book." HA Don't you love it when your kids put you right in your place...The book, in case you are wondering, is What To Do After You Turn Off The TV. I found it at my favorite bookstore.....The GoodWill. Is it sad that the "shopping bag" Liesel made for herself says Walmart on it?



And Simeon bought himself a couple of model airplanes, with his own money, to put together with his brother. However.........

Mr. Party Pooper felt like being a couch potato instead.
