What happened to the crafts?

When the kids were smaller, I spent lots of time on websites finding things to keep them busy and engaged, especially on the weekends when Scott worked. Now that they entertain themselves so well, and I can actually do my own stuff when they are up and around, I've become such a slacker.

The kind of thing I used to do with them:



Now, I throw some paper, scissors, and glue out and say, "make a collage!"

I used to also be really into doing a million fun things for each holiday. We couldn't just make one turkey for Thanksgiving. We had to make a handprint turkey, turkey cookies, and I would print off a million different Thanksgiving coloring sheets.



Part of me feels like I am depriving my kids, and then I realize that they are occupying themselves fairly well,  (without hours on end of screen time or computer time), so I should probably stop feeling guilty. Now that they are in school every day (Hunter only in the pm), I like that they can have unstructured time. They aren't involved in a million activities, and they enjoy the downtime.

So I'm going to stop feeling guilty about my lack of craftiness, and perhaps start feeling guilty about never finishing H's baby book.
