The weather in Boston today is alternating between hot, rainy and hot, so we're crafting it up inside our apartment.
Step one was a quick (ahem, 90-minute) trip to Michael's craft store, though. That's one thing the girls are getting used to. Since we don't have a car, we either walk or ride the T (subway) wherever we need to go. The girls end up walking about 10 miles a day and rarely complain--they're troopers. Ask me again in January.
They've been wanting to make miniature food and other objects out of Fimo dough for their dolls. By wanting, I mean obsessing. Check out their idea lists:
