I'm not crafty. I don't normally do creative things that kids really get into, but the kids were asking for breakfast for dinner, and the last few days I have been so bored that I was willing to do about anything to pass the time. Well, except cleaning and doing things around the house that would be too productive anyway. So I remembered seeing in a kids magazine something about making a caterpillar banana thing with peanut butter and pretzels. I had all the ingredients, so I thought I would give it a try. I made up some oatmeal and toast and created these little creatures:
The kids loved them. It was worth the mess I made trying to get the pieces to stick together. Avery ate hers up, but Benjamin devoured the oatmeal and was too full to finish his. He did ask if I would make them again sometime, though. I am bored again, so who knows what I will try to come up with for dinner tonight. Here are the kids enjoying their dinner. I think they liked the fact they could actually play with their food!
Elijah has been doing inventory at work and has been working from about 2 a.m. till 9 or 10 p.m. He came in last night after 9:00 and sat down for a second, said he stank and went to take a bath. I found him collapsed on the bed when I went to bed myself later that night. He's tired. :o) I hope that he can take some time to recover, but I don't know how. Everyone there is working this hard I imagine. It should all end tonight at midnight.
