I love holidays. I know. Duh. Almost everyone loves holidays. But seriously, not only do I love spending a little extra time with my family celebrating an assortment of great blessings we have in our lives, I also love that Daniel and Nathan get so excited about holidays that it is easy to get them interested in a holiday themed project that keeps them occupied. (
oc·cu·py transitive verb oc·cu·pied,
oc·cu·py·ing,
oc·cu·pies 1:
to engage the attention or energies of, 2: to prevent arguing, quarreling, or bickering, 3: to eradicate exclamations of boredom, 3: to eliminate the ability to drive everyone in a two mile radius completely crazy. ex. Daniel and Nathan were occupied.)
This particular project was especially easy for me. All I had to do was supply red, white and blue construction paper, scissors, and some glue and the boys did the rest.
This is what they came up with:
And I had an hour of peace and quiet. No screaming or yelling. No fighting or bickering. No crying or whining.

So cute! I can't wait til Miles is a little older and can do fun projects like that! Not only does it supply peace and quiet, but you are also being the "cool mom" who does art projects!
