Marking Time

Look what we made. It is an Advent calendar. Each house opens to reveal a family, godparent or person in need that we will pray for that day. The houses all lead to the final destination which is the church where we celebrate the birthday of Jesus. Jacob and Hannah coloured the majority of the houses, I cut them out and then glued them to the paper using a glue gun. Yes, I know that a glue stick would be far easier but since that was partly consumed during our last craft time I had to resort to the hot stuff. Fortunately, the only injury sustained was a bit of glue on my pants which is almost off 6 hours later. I taped the calendar to the fridge but had to raise it as Joseph began to rip off houses. I thought I had the problem solved with the added height, however, Joseph quietly moved his new ride-on toy over to the fridge to use as a stepping stool. This was a successful craft time and only one crayon was eaten (not by the dog).
