With only a few more days of school left before the holiday (oh Hallelujah) the girls and I made fudge tonight so that Maddie has teacher gifts! You can see that this was serious business. I am always glad later that I take the time to do these things with the girls, but during the mess and the project, I rethink the whole "get your kids involved" concept!
To go along with the fudge, I have also made beaded necklaces (and one bracelet).
Here's an up-close view of a couple of the ones I have made so far.

So, that's what I am doing tonight. Well, that along with refereeing the girl's fights,
telling them to stop whining, and all manner of kid juggling.

I know, one of these days, in what will seem like a blink of the eye, the girls will be grown and I will miss these moments. And that's why I do it. That's why even when I am exhausted to the point of tears, I make fudge and let them help even though it takes twice as long to make. Because these moments are precious and years from now I pray that they will remember the fudge we made together for their teachers.
You are WAY ahead of me! I haven't made one single holiday item!!!
