Day 283: Craft-time Fail-time

We attempted to do a Christmas craft today. You know 25 days of Christmasness and all. I purchased one of those cute Michael's foam Christmas houses that are SUPPOSEDLY easy to make. We made a couple of them during Halloween and they were simple and fun. 

Not this time. 

I thought maybe I was an idiot completely incapable of following directions, which is usually true. But the directions sucked, had no words, or color, and by the 2nd step I was throwing tiny foam pieces across the house yelling "THIS IS STUPID!" while the kids sat by wondering why we weren't building anything. 

Brad came inside from fixing some Griswold lighting issues outside and I basically tossed the box at him and said "Deal with this madness." He sat down and within half an hour of completely absolutely NOTHING, he said "THIS IS STUPID!" and we as a family collectively decided that no amount of Christmas cheer would make this craft worth it. 

So we threw it away and Daddy and the boys went on a guys night out date to see Trolls at the movie theater. Who has time for that bullshit anyways. 

At least they wore super awesome Christmas shirts today to kind of sort of get in the spirit. 

Craft time fail time.
