"Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved... Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family. One day each of us will run out of tomorrows." ~President Thomas S Monson

THE NATIVITY!!
This week is my early week at work! I try to make the most of the extra time with my kids. Today we wanted to do a craft (which Brenden LOVES) so I took an old frame that was unfinished, some stickers Brandy gave me and we made this!! It was so easy and we had soo much fun doing it. As we put the stickers on I had Brenden tell me the story of the birth, he did pretty good I must admit! We had soo much fun and it put me in the mood for Christmas!!
We just spray painted the frame, and took the backing out. Brenden decided where we wanted the stickers and I applied them. Then we put on 2 coats of Modge Podge (after I consulted Brandy to see if you could Modge Podge on glass, which you can and it looks really neat) Brenden did the first coat and I helped Cason do the 2nd coat.
It was the perfect activity for us to do together! It is special because of the story, but also because it was something we did together!

That turned out darling! I might steal the idea, I have more of those darling stickers and I have a frame just like that. Hmmmm, that may be our project after school today. It is so much fun making things with the kids. That is one of the best parts of being home with mine all day, but I think sometimes I take it for granted. Thanks for reminding me that is is special time!
