Another one of my less brilliant ideas...

This is what I spent my ENTIRE day doing:


You see, the Deschutes County Fair is next week (anyone want to go with us?). The kids love to go, and it is a fun day, but it gets expensive paying for 5 kids + myself to get into the fair, if we get hungry $$$, if we can't walk by the carnival rides without the kids noticing $$$... you get the idea. So, I realized last year that if the kids enter an art project into the fair displays they get a wrist band that gets them in free. I thought it would be so easy - they could spend some time creating something beautiful and I would glue it onto poster board and they would get their wrist bands. Why do I always underestimate the time and energy (and patience) it takes to have 4 kids doing art projects especially the one child who is all Earnest in his perfectionism???

  1. They look so great though! And I'm sure they will always remember working on their projects with you. Have fun at the fair...wish we could come with you!
