What a short 'long weekend' it was. Here's how we spent it: Saturday-Running errands. Sunday- Picnic at the beach with friends. Monday-Invited friends over for dinner.
I had extended my long weekend through Tuesday as R Jr. is home this whole week. He is super excited about Halloween this time. So, I took him to Dollar Tree in the morning and picked up some decorations. Since things at Dollar Tree never go on sale, I prefer to buy them early on when they are stocked up. We got home for lunch and then R Jr. sat to paint egg cartons.
I was impressed with his work. We then let the cartons dry while we took an afternoon siesta. Later, we had R Jr.'s friend and her mommy for tea. After they had left, R Jr. reminded me about the cartons.
So we sat down and started decorating the cartons.
We ended up with a caterpillar, a butterfly and a bumblebee.
R Jr. couldn't wait for his daddy to be home so that he could show off his new creations. Such a fun and inexpensive craft and a great way to put those egg cartons to use.
