The Zoo

So Melanie and I had the brilliant idea of getting all of our kids together, and doing a craft.  When daddies are on deployment, we come up with lots of genius ideas like this to entertain the kids.

Melanie saw this adorable picture on Pinterest, so we decided, how hard can it be?

We grabbed some popsicle sticks (tongue depressors would have worked better), foam, and glue from the Dollar Tree.  We also grabbed the project scraps we knew we saved for some reason.  We printed the picture off, set out all the supplies, sat the kids down, and let them have at it.  After listening to them bickering over supplies, scissors, and who had the printout last, I was pretty impressed by their creativity. In fact, Melanie, and I couldn't help but join in, and make a couple ourselves.
