Bit By the Crafting Bug

Mama and Stella got bit by the crafting bug today. We made lady bugs out of rocks we found in our backyard. It was super easy and super fun. Stella loved painting the rocks and did a great job with it. Mama helped paint the heads black and draw the line down the middle, and then Stella finished by stamping on the black dots. She also was really excited about gluing on the wiggly eyes. The above picture shows our finished products.

Stella had a hard time waiting for the paint to dry...literally. The directions on the paint said to let the paint dry for an hour before applying a second coat and while the paint was drying, Stella would ask, "Is it dry yet?", every 10 minutes or so.

We are giving one to Dada to take to his office to use as a paper weight!

Des likes playing with the "bucks" as he calls them, but we have to watch him, because he tries to pry the eyes off.
