We started watching Craft Wars on TLC...Tuesday nights at 7:00p.m. central. My girls and I LOVE the show...I mean LOVE it! Kyndall would rather watch it than a Disney show or Nick Jr. She is always telling me how she would have crafted the challenge. She picks a contestant that she wants to win and cheers them on throughout the show...so cute:) So I decided to pull out some craft supplies and challenge Avery and Kyndall to our own Craft War!!!
I let them use sharpies, scrapbook paper, gift wrapping paper, buttons, glue, washi tape, yarn and anything else they could think of to decorate a boring old kleenex box. You should have seen their excitement!
And the finished products....
Avery's is on the left...she had more of a simple style...just gluing, painting and washi taping the box, while Kyndall wanted to make a platform for it....notice the heart glued to the scrapbook paper...and the box was glued down to the scrapbook paper mat...they both added actual tissue paper in their design as well...Avery's tissue was more of an accent while Kyndall's was a pocket holding buttons.
Both had a blast and we avoided the whole "winning" scenerio because we had to quickly clean that up and take off to Joann's because I had signed Kyndall up with her friend, Kate, for a yarn craft class. They made Pom Pom caterpillars:
Kyndall said it was SO much fun:) Meanwhile, Avery and Kate's little sister Sara Paige went with the babies and Jenny and me to Ikea to play and have lunch. Avery and SP aren't quite old enough for craft classes yet...but the kids area at Ikea is super fun so they weren't disappointed.
Have I admitted my obsession with Big Brother? I have one, really bad. I watch the show and even do a little betting game with family and friends on who will win the 500,00 dollar prize in the end. Well, I have a good friend, Amy, who is also a BB fan (BB is short for Big Brother if you are a fanatic like me, you know this already) so we decided that our 9 month olds needed a Big Brother onesie to wear during this season. If you watch the show you know that the competitors have to win a Head of Household (HOH) competition to get special treatment and they are in control of the house for the week. They sleep in a nice room, have a private bathroom, and nominate 2 other players to get kicked out of the house (only one player gets kicked out per week). All that to say, that Amy and I decided sometimes 9 month olds can be a bit like the Head of Household in real life. You jump when they cry, you schedule around their feeding and nap times, and so sometimes it can feel like they are running the place. I have this great Heat Transfer Vinyl that I cut shapes out of and iron on fabric....I cut out HOH for both babies and ironed them on some onesies.....
Taa Daa.....
P.S. Sorry for the run-on sentences....I have 3 little ones talking the whole time and my thoughts are sporadic and a little unorganized!
