today being a rainy day we decided to take out our bucket of random crafting goods. this is an old container that always gets pushed to the back until once in a great while, when someone stumbles upon it and its the hottest thing around. this time it was o who dug it out and decided it was time to have some pom pom, googly eye, popsicle stick fun.
i had recently purchased some brown paper lunch bags for making donuts (more on that another day) and so i grabbed a handful and thought we could whip up some puppets, which everyone thought was a great idea::
and then o created "the puffle" and the puppets were instantly abandoned. he taught everyone how to make a puffle and within minutes the crafting table was empty and they were off building a puffle village in the playroom.
here is our family as represented by said puffles (made and color coordinated by o)::
and here is o showing me myself and little lu. "see mom, she's green and you're green because she was born from you"::
(the bracelets were from the same box of goods.....they spent their morning stringing those up)
the little big man went with the sparkly puffles::
when the puffle madness died down i asked if they would kindly all come back and help me clean up the table which was left with clippings scattered and glue dripping.....but before o closed up our random goods he made and presented me with this, which i like to think of as, the golden puffle::
his name for it = "jinglepuff"
i love it!
