Lighthouse

It's been raining a lot lately. More than it normally does at this time of year. We are thankful for it but it also means we are in the house more. That calls for us to be creative, which you all know is hard for me. Dawson finished a pringles can one day and told me to save it so that we could make a lighthouse. He had seen it on Mister Maker, which is a show on a British channel. (We got satellite TV last year but it is out of South Africa so it is a lot of British shows). Anyway, so he wanted to make a lighthouse. We decided to do it one afternoon. It went well because this is how "we" did it....Brett read the directions. I made it. The boys watched. :) But hey, it was done quickly without a lot of screaming by me... I mean the boys. :)

You put a flash light inside the can.

Up close look.

And this is what it looked like a few minutes later when the boys started destroying/decorating it.

Don't mean to be posting all the time about crafts we do as to make it seem like this is what I do all the time. I don't. It's just so rare when it happens, I feel I must document it. :)
