We Miss You Daddy!

Well, I've already mentioned that the only good thing that comes from Jacob's overseas trips is no cooking.  Brenna missed her daddy and wanted to do something special for him.  So, in an effort to stay active, I decided there was no point in baking a cake or making his favorite dessert (that would just negate the "no cooking" advantages).  Not to mention this would be work for me, not so much for Brenna.  So we settled on a crafts project.  We try to incorporate craft time into everyday, this one spanned 3 days and Brenna had a blast.  We started day-1 with the letters.  First she would pick the letter she liked, then she would pick the color she wanted to paint it, and finally she would choose the paint brush she wanted to use (thanks to Aunt Jodi we have alot to choose from.)  On day-2 we glued.  Oh how she loves her glue sticks!  I can't tell you the number of times I've been hunched over my kitchen table with a tooth pick digging dried glue out of the cracks, despite the layers of protective paper that was provided for the project.  Day-3 we decorated with markers and stickers.  I thought she did a very impressive job.  After we were all done, I snapped a picture (with my new lens, of course!) and we emailed it to Daddy, so he would know Brenna was missing him!
