Duct Tape

My calling in church right now is Activity Days with the 9 year olds. Translation for those who may not know LDS language is that I have been asked to work with the 9 year old girls twice a month and do activities. We have some fun activities that we do with them. This last month we played with Duct Tape! We made Duct Tape flower pens for Mother's Day and Duct Tape flip flops for the girls. We practiced on a pair for Caroline before the girls came over. She wears them ALL of the time. She loves them so much I had to tell her they were indoor flip flops and she can't go outside with them. They have turned into "house slippers." I covered the bottom with some extra craft foam I had. For the other girls we used cardboard or hard felt. Sadly, I think Caroline's will last longer.

On my way to the fridge I found this...

Luckily, I didn't step on them. As you can tell they are a little pokey. I picked them up and put them on the counter. Fifteen minutes later I found them on the floor, again, on the way to the kitchen sink.

I think Henry is out to get me.

Caroline's Perspective

Caroline: "Henry, do you want to be a Mom?"

Henry: "No."

Caroline: "You don't want to be a Mom?! But when you are a mom you can have a jelly bean anytime you want!"
