Tried!!

Okay, so many times I see craft ideas to do with the kids and I don't follow through. Was so excited when we pulled out the clear beads and sparkly wire to make snowflakes for the grandparents. Well, this may be the only time the grandparents see those snowflakes... on this blog. Hope they are watching!



They did great... although Lexi seemed to only want to use one type of clear bead and so her snowflake is a bit ... uniform in appearance. That is... the 3 out of 10 wires she got beads on. Then she was finished. Yep. That is the attention span of a 2 year old. Really, guess I shouldn't complain. It took a while to string on what she did. And she had fun doing it. Maybe we will try to have these finished for NEXT year Christmas.

Lexi watches intently as her brother slides on his beads. See her mind working?

Nicolas insists on posing with that forced grin. I told him I wanted to get a photo of him making the snowflake and he wanted a picture of the process. He got more finished then Lexi did but still not an entire flake. Oh well. We tried! Cute idea for next year!
