It was supposed to rain here today and it kept getting really dark outside so I was reluctant to go out. That meant I was attempting to come up with an interesting way to pass the time for Hayley (I could have done more cleaning for the party but that doesn’t count as interesting to her, plus it will just get messed up by tomorrow or Saturday anyway).
Yesterday we got a big box in the mail with a present from my sister for Hayley’s birthday so of course she had been having a blast playing in the box. Last night we had company and they had a big stack of those envelopes that you get to make your deposits at bank machines. Hayley was pretending they were letters in the mail today, so I got out the construction paper and glue, and we made a mail box together. Then I cut a little slot and a door and gave her an old purse and she’s now the cutest mail carrier I ever saw.

So cute! I could totally use some of your clever craftiness around here sometimes. 🙂
I would never have thought of that, very cool. You know, you need to create a crafty site for those of us who are noncrafty such as myself to give us ideas for rainy days! 🙂
Now that is creative! 🙂
