So... in case you are wondering I got my camera fixed. Now don't laugh too hard... my rechargeable battery was dead. AND... the charging station had an extra one in it that I didn't know about. It took the young-looking guy about 5 seconds to figure it out - even though he "has never seen one of these cameras and their store doesn't sell them and the technology is probably outdated and I'd be better off buying a better camera if this battery died again". Ummm...Yeah... thanks young-looking-guy, i'll try to revive the dead money tree in the backyard this weekend.
Anyhoo, now that I have a camera again, let's get back to blogging.
Yesterday, while I was trying to keep little A out of the mud-pit called a backyard, we went to my fave dollar store. We picked up a couple of things...
And then I put my almost 4 year old cutie patootie to work.
I took the the floral foam and cut it to fit the terra cotta pot and took apart grass thingies (about 5 bunches) and cut them down to the size that I wanted. And then little A started sticking them on. It took him long enough for me to drink my tea and watch the Y&R- about an hour of silence! In case you are wondering... my kids love it when I put them to "work".
Here's the finished product. The total project cost about $8.00 (plus tax).
Not bad for an almost four year old, huh?
Hopefully next week I'll be able to post about my backyard, but for now here's a quick pic of my front yard.
And that's just one side! The other side has about 5 more construction trucks, diggers and bobcats. I can't even park my soccer-mom-van in the driveway. They've promised that everything will be done by next Wednesday! Kids finish school on Tuesday... I need more craft ideas!!!
