With Fall Break officially upon us and most people traveling to exotic locales, I have, as usual, fallen short in the "making the most of the break" department. Mother of the Year once again. As luck would have it, I had to take a friend to the western part of town and was a stone's throw from Michael's. I never go there, partially because it is always kind of a mess, but they had been the only place in town to carry Rainbow Looms. I was not aware of these things until I was informed by another mom that they were all the crafty rage in the preteen set. My girls love to be crafty, so I thought that this loom might be something to pass the time while they relaxed furing the most boring break ever. Once G got home from her field trip with school and the hub, she found the loom and got to work. He showed her how to set it up and she took off. I was gone for about an hour getting S and going to the grocery store and when I came back, the bracelet factory had opened. Seeing G weave these rubber bands together with the loom right up to her eyes, I sense that her eyes may need some rest over the break. Then, when they wanted to take their weaving to the next difficulty level, the hub had to get involved once again. He is the technical guy, the idea man:
The girls are now deciding how to design a website to sell their bracelets. Oh dear. As often is the case, these things tend to add lots of extra work for the mommy. Sigh. If you get a link sent to your inbox, don't automatically think it is linked to a Nigerian prince who needs help securing his fortune. It may just be two eye strained girls and their little spectacled brother trying to make some money for buying Christmas presents for family or helping buy Angel Tree gifts for kids in need. I am sporting one right now out of their "Blue Sky" collection. Yes, they have already started naming each piece of rubber band jewelry. Stylish AND if you are in need, you can take it apart if you need to bundle up a mess of newspapers or Campbell's labels for school.
The ideas are overwhelming...must go to bed.
