Crafty Girl

Natalie is always doing something crafty. Writing in one of her many notebooks, gluing random things to paper to make pictures, cutting, coloring, etc etc etc. I love this about her! (Although sometimes I wish she would actually play with some of the toys she has!) After I finished wrapping the presents, I gave her some of the scraps. She was thrilled! She made snowflakes, people, and glued other pieces to paper.

Its funny, when Ethan gets in trouble he gets Legos or video games taken away. The absolute worst thing we can do to Natalie is not let her use her drawing/craft things. Like last weekend. She thought making about a million little tiny pieces of paper, then throwing them all over her room, was a good idea! Guess what??? No crafts for three days! She about died when I told her that. It took her a good ten minutes to stop crying before she could start cleaning up her mess. (I did help with the vacuum cleaner as it would have taken her days to actually pick up all the little pieces!)

Crafty little Nat, she gets that from you you know. You are amazing crafty! The "grounded from crafts" thing is freaking hilarious but you have to use what works. Poor Nat.
