Don brought this in ON THE KITCHEN TABLE and it was alive and had just been born. Gross, huh!!! But kinda cool, too. I love this pic – makes me think of the cliche “turning over a new leaf” somehow. These things are neat at a distance but the other day as I was coming home from a run, one hit me right smack in the shin and freaked me out a little. I’m easily bug-freaked. Imagine that.
Cole has such a great talent for origami. Who knew it would apply equally well for making balloon animals! He picked this skill up very quickly and has created some wonderful things. His favorite tends to be the monkey (I’ll have to get a pic of one of these!) but he made several flowers for a family in the ward whose mother is sick. He is such a talented kid! He calls it aerogami but we call it balloonagami. Whatever you call it, there’s a lot of balloon squeaking going on around here…
