What a day...

a wet, cold day to be exact. We stayed home nearly all day Saturday--aside from a trip to the grocery store where my children were perfect angels despite the time being just before lunch and nap. After the grocery story trip, lunch, and nap (this has a very loose definition); W and L did Christmas crafts, built towers, made banana muffins, and watched a movie. I have a few things hung around the house from W when he was less than 2--he loved craft time. But, L doesn't really have anything so Christmas craft time was a must do!

Christmas crafts involve glitter--YIKES! It only comes out once a year because it takes nearly the whole year to get all the glitter up. W and L decorated snowflakes, Christmas trees, and circles as their little hearts desired. L had a blast. She was very serious and thorough with each of her projects. W really just wanted to deal in glitter, which made a BIG mess for me to clean up. The big clean up is totally worth all the fun.


W and L start off the Christmas crafting



Check out the mess!

W and L building their towers while waiting patiently for supper

W mashing bananas for banana bread. They both love to help bake. L is a little too helpful at times, but fun nonetheless. The both enjoy measuring, pouring and stirring

W and L eating popcorn while watching "The Race to Witch Mountain". L kept sneaking banana muffins, too.

And finally, the Christmas art for 2009
