For the past several weeks we have been saving every empty toilet paper tube for some unspecified future art project. So this weekend I used one to make this:
Of course I did it under the guise of "doing and art project with Quynh," but she and I were not exactly working together. It was more like she was asking me to draw with her and I was way too focused on my mobile to be bothered. Sometimes I get carried away.
Then Tai joined us, saw what I was working on, and started scolding me, "MAMA!!! Those tubes are for KID art projects!!!"
Whoops.
Luckily we had seven of them. Three for each kid and one for me. I don't think it's too much to ask that I get ONE, is it?
Even though the tubes had been piling up for weeks and no one was using them for anything, seeing me make use of one suddenly inspired both Tai and Quynh to create something with the others. (Or maybe they just figured they had better use them before I took them all).
