Tonight I let the boys stay after school to play in the giant play room so we didn't get home until close to 6pm and didn't have time for the crafty idea I had prepared. I guess that just means I get to save the suspense of that idea for another day. But, we did have a little fun just before bedtime. While drinking their glasses of milk before bed we decided to get crazy with straws and see how many we could put together and still drink the milk from the glass. We just folded up the tip of each straw and stuck them into each other to create this crazy contraption. While it did work up to about 4 straws, the milk wasn't coming out very quickly so we worked our way back down to just one straw to finish up before starting our bedtime routine. At any rate, the boys got a real kick out of the crazy long straw and this quick activity helped everyone, including Mommy, get in a fun, silly mood before bedtime! I love any activity that allows us to laugh together before saying goodnight:))
What a fun idea!
