I forgot to show our progress on "THE PROJECT" yesterday ... so I will share that progress right now. And yesterday's progress later on today.
What?
Are you calling me a procrastinator too? ARE YOU?
So what?
I'm not in fifth grade. With a project due.
I'm just a blogger ...
with readers ...
hanging on my every word.
Oh geez, I crack myself up. I've found that I have to have a good sense of humor to survive in this house.
Not only am I a procrastinator as well ... I also find it hard to stay on track ... OBVIOUSLY.
So ... here is the project progress. I know you can barely hold yourself together waiting ... huh?
First Jake painted the box that we'd use as his "frame". He was actually pretty happy doing this.
And then it was time to paint the katrillion Popsicle sticks that would give the "frame" of the house a little somethin' somethin'. This is where things got a little hairy ... as Jake was pissy because his fingers were getting dirty (I KNOW! Don't ask!), not to mention the fact that Drew was behind him playing on his computer (see him in the chair in the background), laughing because he was playing a game on Jake's name. Oh the horror! Can this smile get any faker???? I don't believe so.
While the sticks were drying ... we check out out the "frame". It was looking good. This is where Jake wanted to quit for the night ... but I wouldn't have it. I had to be the big, bad, mean mother ... who made him keep going ... after all, he was the one who waited until 3 nights before it was to be presented, right?
So, he glued down the grass. Note the two different colors ... "for shadowing". I tried to talk him out of this but he informed me that it was HIS project. Fine. Whatever. The door was also cut out and he determined the positioning of the longhouse ... and then I let him stop for the night. I must have had enough of that beer to regain my soft spot. Plus, I could tell Jake was just itching to get upstairs and beat up on his brother ...
However, the next night ... we have to be BACK AT IT. After all, only 2 nights left.
