Crafty

Let's put this in context. I am not a crafty person. Oh sure, I have hundreds of dollars' worth of stamping supplies in the basement, but they haven't been touched in a year or two. I do own a glue gun, gathering dust unopened, next to the sewing machine I would love to know how to use. I have friends whose creativity is absolutely incredible, but my 6-year-old can draw, sew and make Lego machines better than I can.

Nevertheless, when Kieran said "I'm boooored!" for the umpteenth time one day last week, we made a pilgrimage to the dollar store and stocked up on all manner of goodies. We spent the whole afternoon creating and crafting and having wonderful Mummy and Me time. When Liam woke up he got to make one too. In the middle of a long, hot summer, it was a glorious day.
