our first craft.

I am not a crafty person.

That aspect of teaching 3rd grade never appealed to me.

It's just not my style.

My ADD kicks in and I get bored way before the craft is completed.

But.....

after grabbing a Martha Stewart Living magazine off the freebie table at the library and flipping through it in 5 minutes only to realize I should have left the magazine there for someone who would actually enjoy it,

a great idea popped into my head:

Cut out the pictures Henry would like and let him glue the pictures down with the gluesticks I bought on clearance at Kroger.

Brilliant, huh?

No. Not really. I know.

Checking out the various pictures I cut out during his naptime.

I thought gluing the pictures onto a football player would incite excitement.

I was right.

Hmmm. Which picture to choose first?

Mama, glue the hot dog right there.

Streeeeetching for the last picture.

Admiring the finished product.

I think it turned out pretty cute and Henry was proud!

He surprised me by insisting that I handle the glue stick but he really enjoyed choosing the picture and telling me exactly where it need to be placed on the paper.
