"Mommy, can we make something?"

Once homework was finally done tonight, Paul wanted to make something with me. Specifically, something out of marshmallows. First we tried our hand at making an igloo. We cut down a foam coffee cup, painted it with glue, and attached marshmallows. It looked promising at first, but the marshmallows began to slide down the cup. No matter. By then Paul had found a jar of toothpicks so we moved right on to making marshmallow people. They were much more successful, though one of them seemed tired out and kept wanting to fall down and sleep. We caught this photo just seconds before he hit the ground.
