Christmas crafts

Since Isabella has been born it has been an adjustment trying to figure out how to give each kid enough attention. I realized that the boys really needed a project to do with Mom! So on Monday we started with a trip to Michaels for craft supplies. I usually dread going to the store with 3 kids, but they were sooooo good! ( mainly I think because they each got their own pair of kid scissors, which apparently is very exciting when you are 3 and 4!) We got construction paper, glitter, buttons, glittery pipe cleaners, mini flower pots, styrafoam balls, felt, jewelry beads and bells!
So this morning it was time to do the craft! I got out all the supplies and thought to myself, "you are crazy! what were you thinking trying to do this with 2 little boys while you're 4 month old is sleeping!" But I had promised them snowmen, and snowmen we would make! We had tons of fun picking out all the different beads and colors, and getting messy. This ofcourse took all day because there were frequent stops to take care of Bella, but it was worth it our snowmen look great!
Mommy's snowman
Donovan's snowwoman ( he wanted his to be a girl) named Dennis LOL ( sorry Uncle Dennis)
Jacks snowman named Harry
We also made reindeer. The boys cut out the body and head, and I traced their hands and cut them out for ears.
