The other night, I finished up making an advent chain with Rusten:
I think Raquel uses nice scrapbooking paper, but I went for good, old, cheap construction paper--of the red and green varieties. I used all my different scrapbooking scissors to cut 25 2" strips. Then I wrote the number on one side, and an activity on the other. Each day is something new to do: Watch a certain Christmas movie that's on tv, go to the Christmas Parade, drink hot chocolate. You get the idea.
Last night, we made Rich watch Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas. He wasn't a big fan, but Rusten loved it. He was begging to watch it again.
So here's what the chain project looked like:
I thought I'd also include what was going on while I was working on this project....the boys were seeing who looks best in Rusten's new glasses. What do you think?
too cute!!! :D
ReplyDeleteRusten looks the best in HIS glasses. hehe But the other 2 look cool too;)
