On Thursday last week, there was some crankiness, and it was probably the least fun we've had doing our craft of the day so far this month. We got it done though! Ha. I sent the kids out in the yard to hunt for sticks that they liked for antlers. Then we used felt, buttons, sequin noses, and hot glue to make little reindeer ornaments.

On Friday, we did a more involved one, since the big kids didn't have school. Egg carton Santa's sleigh and reindeer.

They really liked this one. I loved the faces Neely made for her reindeer. They were all unique.
She even decided this crazy fella should have no nose, and crooked eyes.
On Saturday, I decided riding the Polar Express was more than sufficient as our Christmas activity for the day. :)
Sunday we made Christmas cards. I'd come across two little girls online, who are sick, and had asked for lots of Christmas cards this year. So the kids each made one.

I've been looking online for craft ideas, and have quite a few saved, but don't have our days planned out. I just pull them up a bit before the kids get home from school, and pick one to do. So today, when Sarah stopped by with some crafting goodies she got in Flagstaff, I let the kids do that for today. One was a suncatcher that you paint-and I knew immediately which one each of them would choose. I was right, Paige wanted the owl, Cason wanted the penguin, and Neely wanted the fox. They loved this one. I'll have to pick up more of these next time I'm in a craft store apparently. Thanks Sarah!
