2. Don't worry that you are breaking a promise you made to yourself about not buying anymore books until you have read every last one in your house. It doesn't count, because you just found a $20.00 gift card to Barnes and Noble.
(just a few of them)
4. This turns out to be a good idea, because unlike you he actually reads the instructions and figures out how to Lock the twists in place.
5. Try unsuccessfully to make a complicated poodle. Unfortunately one of the ear dog twists pops so you can no longer make the poodle, but instead a random bunch of bubbles.
6. Allow small child to decide on next project- a Dragonfly.
7. Consult the directions, Twist and Pull, and twist and pull, consult the directions, until.... VOILE! You have created your very own Dragonfly.
Congratulations- now take a bow.

This sounds pretty fun to do as a family, but I wonder if I have the patience. And the lungs to keep blowing up balloons.
I hate reading directions so books like that are definitely better off in Randy's hands.
I love seeing on the books on your shelves and seeing your shelves bow ever so slightly.
I love it. A is such a great dad. If I asked J he would laugh at me and tell me good luck. I love the dragonfly.
What talent there is in your little family. Since when does a man read directions?
This is so funny.
Like Jill, I was admiring your books and the shelves bowing slightly under the weight. A beautiful sight.
p.s. the word verification for my last comment was "immulase" and this one is "colosin". Don't those sound like new pharmaceuticals?
We purchased a kit like that this summer for our Fourth of July party. The kids had so much fun with it. I think it would make a great family gift and or birthday gift for kids 8 and older. I never learned how to make a single balloon creation, neither did Bill. But Lizzy and Zoey were all over it.
