Today we made and decorated butterfly place mats. About halfway through our little project I realized that we would need to laminate any place mat that wanted to survive more than a meal or two at our table.
And right about the time I started wondering if it would be worth the trouble to laminate the butterflies, the girls answered my question. They decided to spice up their decorating efforts by gluing buttons on to the butterfly wings. Which made it impossible to balance a plate on top and confirmed that the butterfly place mats would be useful only for tea parties and such.
So we used them for a special fancy snack (applesauce with sprinkles on top). And we even spiced things up a bit with folded napkins.
I love fast and easy things like this that bring much joy and delight to my little ladies. You would have thought they were guests at a royal palace. Fun times.
Note Julianna in the pink leotard.... again. It's her uniform these days. Reminds me of the pink and brown cowboy boots she wore every day for three months. She's got style, that's for sure :)

Sorry she didn't get to wear them for longer than 3 months! Caroline wore them for 2 years!!! Susan sure did pick a winner with those boots! The butterflies are beautiful.
I know another Crissman who had quite an affinity for a pair of red cowboy boots....
