That Fuksa Family

Nathan’s school holiday party is this Friday. He wanted me to sign up to bring napkins. Wonderful, I thought, what an easy choice. But after coming home I decided that since I was actually going to be at this party I should probably step up and bring something besides just napkins, cute as they may be. So I enlisted the boys help and we made candy cane reindeers. As you can probably imagine, Michael’s had a run on brown pipe cleaners and red pom pom balls this time of year, so I had to buy the large variety packs. So don’t be surprised if you see more crafts throughout the next year using pipe cleaners in a variety of colors. Side note - anyone have any ideas on good uses for 50 green pom poms?

We had a fun time doing this little family craft. Daddy twisted the pipe cleaners on the candy cane, Nathan bended them to look like antlers and Mommy glued on the red noses. This was a short and very easy project and one that Nathan’s classmates will really enjoy. And the best part is that Nathan can tell them he helped make them.

Hopefully I’ll be able to get some pictures from his party. Last year I was too busy making sure everyone had the food that they wanted and no one spilled their juice. And I wouldn’t have missed it for the world.
