So sad, but so true. Our attention gets divided between so many things that we just run out of time - not to mention the additional dishes and laundry! :) Karen~

Karis tells me things to write on her leaves and seems to 'get it' on some level, although most of the things she tells me are just her repeating something her brother or sister has just said. (It's actually kind of cute!) I can actually see this becoming a bit of a tradition in our house. Maybe next year Kate and I can spend a little more time and make a sturdier tree that will last through the years and maybe even laminate the leaves to use over and over, too. But, for now, this was a fun activity that only took about an hour start to finish. :) Let me know if you decide to do it, though! I'd love to get to see your tree, too!

While I <em>can</em> do crafty things, I most definitely don't think that way all the time. My dear daughter, on the other hand, has her grandmother's genes through and through and can't help BUT think in crafty ways. She's always got some craft going on in the playroom/schoolroom. I think she'd rather craft than just about anything else in the whole world. So, now my challenge is what to do with all those projects - the finished ones as well as the 'in progress' ones.
