Yesterday I posted a crafty collaboration for Wordless Wednesday.
You know how when they get quiet you have to worry. Usually this hasn’t been the case with the boys. But this time I just wasn’t sure. That photo is what I found.
They both get Highlights magazine. They found an activity to do while thumbing through it and between themselves quietly got everything and did it themselves.
The BG did the cutting out of the sheep….yes you knew that right 
The MO knew where my not so secret stash of cotton wool was hiding as well as the best place to find clothes pegs. They found everything else and worked together and it must have been quietly because I didn’t hear anything. It was a Ta dar! moment for them.
…….a giant sheep.
He was duly added to the farmhouse ( bit of a favourite toy at the moment) to be with the other animals. If you look carefully in the background you can see the LO posed ready to grab the sheep. They were in a good mood so the LO became the monster grabber from outer space- rather apt except he was fascinated with the clothes pegs really. So the sheep was forever losing its legs!
They pretend played for a while….altogether.
I got to do the clearing up which wasn’t too bad really. They were really proud of their sheep. So was I.
Brothers can work together. They demanded asked if I would take a photograph for them. I think we all knew giant sheep wouldn’t last for long.
