Crafty Girls

Lily and Mia both enjoy craft projects. Lucky for them, Bama is a former kindergarten teacher, so she knows lots of great projects to make and is very creative in making them (not to mention she has way more patience than Ryan or I do!). I love coming home and seeing the fun things they have made that day. I don't usually remember to take pictures of the things they make, but here are a couple of recent projects the girls made with Bama:

They made little crowns for the princesses and decorated them. Aren't they cute? Uncle Randy gave Lily a paper bag puppet making kit on Tuesday evening (see previous post). It has five individually wrapped kits that make a different animal puppet. Lily has made a cow and an elephant; here she is showing off the elephant. I thought it looked really nice. Lily couldn't wait to put on a puppet show for me. First she brought out the elephant (which she named Fluffy) and then the cow (which she named Spotty). We asked the puppets questions, and Lily would respond which was fun to hear. I love talking with her. After about 5 minutes of this, Lily popped up from behind the couch and said "It's actually me talking!" That made me laugh harder than anything else she said. Before she started another show this afternoon, she said "Now Mommy remember, it's really me talking. I just pretend that the puppets are talking." Good to know! Keep up the good work with fun craft projects, Bama and girls!
