Octopus Thursday!

Yesterday, Wednesday I had to do some cleaning around the house and we also had to go to the grocery store. Add in two wild behaving boys, we didn't get the chance to settle down and read/do craft.

Today we did get a book and craft in. We read the book Herman the Helper by Robert Kraus. Gavin loved the book and even read it to Daddy when he came home from work.

We then made our own Octopus. The boys colored paper bags, we filled the end of the bags with rolled up newspaper and then taped it off to make a head. We then cut the bottom of the bag to make eight legs. It was adorable!

Many of my craft projects come from this very talented Momma! Her blog offers wonderful book reviews as well.
