Such A Waste...

...Of time, money, energy, and my limited creativity.
I am speaking of the Christmas gift I made for Ethan that I knew he would love (and he does), and I was so excited about. I made some nifty little things for Ethan to use with magnetic letters and numbers so that he wouldn't have to use them on my fridge. I also made them so that he might learn his lower-case letters and his numbers more easily. My sister helped me make them, and they were so cute. I kept forgetting to hang them in our new apartment, but finally did last week. I'm glad I took a picture, because I want to at least remember that I made something cute once. After a couple of days of being in his room, they were destroyed. He did most of the damage while he was in time-out, and I was wondering why he was being so quiet. I guess I should have known this would happen, he is only two. Maybe I will save what's left of my creative energy for when my kids are old enough to truly appreciate it.

The guilty; looking so innocent!

What a cute little stinker! He can still use them to match though, even though the tops are ruined, right? They are (were) so cute.

So very sad. But I still can't help giggling about the "after" pictures. :)

I'm so sorry. They were very cute and he loved them when he got them for Christmas.
That IS a cute grin.

That is a great idea--I will definitely use that one, but obviously it needs to wait a little bit. Hopefully it will be useful again in a few years!
