School Project: The Long Home



Oand I spent a good part of the day working dillegently on her 3-D construction of a replica Iroquois Long Home. What began as a fun, creative mom-and-daughter morning quickly turned into a teeth-grinding, patience-testing fiasco. The first lesson: Gingerbread works better on Food Network than my kitchen. The second lesson: Hot glue guns are lifesavers...until you burn the pads of your fingers.

Plan A quickly dissolved into Plan B...In the end, she was ecstatic with the results, adding two small campfires (candy corn) and two slabs of "deer meat" (beef jerky), all the while thanking me for taking the time to help her. What a great kid.
