Mandatory Craft!

I've been wanting to make one of those FHE charts for a long time. That's why after I got this good idea to make mini likenesses of my family and move them across a board, I just couldn't stop myself. Though Leland would have much rather been doing anything else, last night he humored me and participated in what I had to call a "mandatory craft." He is such a good husband. As it turned out, I made all the dolls using materials found around the house, while Leland heated up the glue gun and set the mood with itunes. Lucy and Jack found little ways to help like throwing pieces of felt up into the air and attacking them. Here is a picture of the dolls:
I was going to make Leland's doll look like Steve Nash because Leland loves him, but we didn't have purple or orange fabric (he plays for the Suns) and Leland is not Steven Nash. Leland doesn't even play basketball for a professional team. Leland is a professional man, however, so I put his doll in a professional suit (you can see the sleeves poking out of the suit and there is a vent in the back of the coat). They don't have mouths or noses because I couldn't find anything around the house that would work well as mouths or noses. I still don't know how we will display the dolls, but I am proud of my work. It will be a very unique Family Home Evening chart. Oh, and there's Leland making eggs for breakfast as I photograph the dolls. Breakfast was nutritious and delicious. Leland is really cool... and handsome.
