And this is why my laundry is piled 3 feet deep on the couch...


Because instead of folding it in the afternoons (or completing any task on my ever-growing "Things to Do Before Baby K #3 Arrives" list), we are usually engaged in some sort of art project.

Our latest project (see above, C's on left and B's on right) involved turning Halloween candy boxes into robots. The hardest part was actually gluing the boxes back together so that the shiny, printed labels were on the inside.

While I can't take any credit for the idea (see That Artist Woman's blog for details), I'm thrilled with how well they turned out.

With the exception of some gluing (e.g., putting boxes back together and setting googly eyes in place) and using a knife to poke arm/leg holes in the boxes, Cate and Ben were able to create their robots almost entirely without my help.
