Our Crazy Crafty Rainy Weekend

 We get a lot of rain in Oregon. No secret there. But when you start talking flood stages & mud slides people get a little wacky. This weekend, we were essentially rained in. Going out & about in muddy, puddly Portland with a rain-soaked soggy pre-schooler gets old after a while. So you can imagine after 5 days of downpour. 

Anyhow, we planned for a weekend inside of crafting & Christmas-ing.  Made these lovely salt dough ornaments from Katy Elliott (the gorgeous photo is hers, our are in a precarious state of color explosion at the moment). 

      

Also, assembled a gingerbread house. Yes, this is Jack attempting to lick the roof. In response to me saying, "look at me with your gingerbread house honey. Smile!"                                

Please- look beyond the blurriness in these last two photos to glimpse the ultimate form of two year-old craziness: 

Jack tasting mud. 

{as I said- the rain can make us all a bit neurotic.}

 Post mud-tasting. Jack's new hilarious cackle- perhaps enjoying his brief little moment of pure defiance.....
