Plus this….

(Mr. C’s Thanksgiving project where we had to help a turkey escape his untimely death by adopting a disguise…in this case, the freaking Easter Bunny)
Equals this…

…a lot of this.

Alcohol = Good
Wow, stilettos AND a craft goddess :bowing:
Oh my. I’m pretty sure my kid’s school projects will drive me to drink someday too.
Ooooooo…look at the pretty, sparkly glass of wine. Purty.
Oh, yeah, that’s always involved when I’m helping mine do her projects.
Wait, I meant to say AFTER I helped her.
That is the kind of elementary school stuff that KILLS ME! Don’t they know it’s just more work for Mama?
But the turkey bunny is adorable.
If wine = x, and school projects = y, how many x’s do you need to forget the y’s?
DREADING the school project days!! Just last week Logan wanted to take a book to school for “show and tell” and when we got there, I said to the teacher – “He really insisted that today was show and tell day,” to which his teacher replied, “Yes, EVERY Wednesday is show and tell day.”
EVERY WEDNESDAY? And I’m just now finding out?? Total, utter preschool parenting FAIL.
I’ll come drink wine with you any day of the week!
if I had kids, would my overuse of the bottle be more acceptable? is it worth it?
Sigh, I miss a good Chardonnay. Of course, when I was helping my older kids with their school projects, I ended up just drinking out the bottle. So much more efficient than using a glass…
Um, can you poor me one of those too? I’m not breastfeeding so I can have one now!! This project Princess has is really driving me up the wall – how am I supposed to make her look like a watch? I’m no freaking Martha Stuart you know!
Yes, love that!
Need wine later tonight, more like every day after spending the entire day with them!
Um…those projects are most impressive. I didn’t do any of them, but I still partook of a delicious glass or 2 myself last night. Will do the same tonight. Cheers!
Bwaa-Ha-Ha! That turkey is awesome!! I mentioned yesterday that my hubby and son were doing his while I was at work? Yeah – they colored the whole thing green and made him a “Frankenstein Turkey.” No felt, no cotton balls, no pipe cleaners. Just green. With a bunch of feathers taped around the back which KIND OF DEFEATS THE WHOLE “DISGUISE” THING!
Oh yeah, lots of wine last night. I said to myself this morning that I wasn’t going to do that again tonight. And then I got to work. I’d kind of like to start now, please!
LOL…amen. Projects rock!
I love that turkey. Even with all that vino you managed to get those cotton balls in all the right places. I’m so proud.
Wine makes you sleepy!
You need Red Bull Vodkas! Like 3 of them!
Dude, crafts are fun!
Like the craft projects. Love the wine more. Make mine a red. The turkey bunny, LOL!
That turkey rocks. Is it Welsh Turkeybit?
That was not even kind of funny. I apologize.
loving the easter turkey!!! haha. amen for wine.
My little ones are not there yet but I am thinking I will START with wine/beer when that happens…………….
You’re crafty and you’re just my type. Also, why are you feeding Miss G. wine at such a young age. I know I shouldn’t mess with Texas and all, but e-gads.
OMG!!!! I am having MY kids disguise turkeys!!!!! They are SO adorable. That is so funny that you are doing that, as well. Wait a minute. you’re kid isn’t in my class, is she?????Is it RUTHII?????????????
Hello SM
Tara C introduced me to your blog and am glad she did.
Am quaking on my Ugg boots that I have all this creaft ahead of me in my boys schooling.
Not so nervous of the glass of wine though! That habit won’t be hard to uphold.
Stalking stalking again. Hey, have I ever told you who your writing reminds me of? Those snarky and witty gals over at Go Fug Yourself. I hope you’ve read them, they are royalty and make me laugh and cackle whenever I read them. I clicked over this weekend and it just dawned on me then that your writing style reminds me so much of them. Good night there, Missy.
When I talked to my sister this weekend, she and her oldest daughter were in the midst of doing the turkey disguise assignment. Had I known that perhaps I could have had a drink, I’d have hung up the phone and rushed to the grocery store for a bottle of their finest, cheapest wine!
You SO deserve that.
Now that Loopy is almost in high school, they don’t make enough gin and tonic for the math she does. We take her to Kumon.
Great post!
Alcohol is a requirement when doing crafty projects.
[...] you see the pink in that wood? Also, I was so desperate to cover it up, I actually used the Thanksgiving Easter Bunny Turkey that was such a joy to create…can you see him in the shelves? Also, the Pagoda Cat House [...]
