Today we made paperchains from a pack my Mom and dad sent over. Sadly though the manufacturers seem to think its better to add little bits of plastic and self adhesive to the end of each paper chain now - but it was always more fun and more traditional to have to lick the end of each one I think - and the children were a bit sad too - yes it was yucky but it was just a part of making paperchains!! Lol! And we ended up with tiny bits of plastic EVERYWHERE!! Why do companies continue to 'improve' products when it isn't really improving them??????? :(
Still, they had fun making their own paper chains and then we joined them together to make one long snake which we hung in the living room. We left one pack of chains for Susannah to make when she gets home and she can add it to the long chain and finish it off!
Abby and Sam are now watching 'Jingle All The Way' and eating popcorn and then we are heading out for a walk with the dogs...
