I'm a Pinterest junkie and spend a good chunk of my unproductive time (Austin napping or engrossed in some sort of activity that doesn't require mommy intervention) pinning everything under the sun. Sometimes, I surprise myself and actually complete a Pinterest Challenge of my own. Today, I brought one of my Pins to fruition and I'm beaming at myself on the inside.
This afternoon, Austin was literally driving me nuts. He has hit two years old with a vengeance and I can only say that while it is easy to laugh at some tantrums, there are others where I want to be on the ground kicking and screaming too. This usually means that Austin is craving some attention and possibly some structured play. So after nap and a walk, I was picking up odds and ends around the house and noticed an empty diaper box sitting in Austin's room. I instantly thought to myself, "you are about to earn a "Mommy Award" for awesome effort"! So I brought the box to the living room, cut off the top edges of the box so that it was completely open on the top edge. Then, I cut out an arc on the middle of each edge to make tunnels. Austin and I then went to town decorating our new tunnel with stickers that we have been saving from random trips to the grocery store and his birthday. Check out my handy-work below.
Have you ever given yourself a "Mommy Award" for your craftiness? Let me know and maybe I'll be a copycat. ;-)
