Have you ever gotten super excited about a craft and had it totally bomb? Yeah, that was us earlier this week…I made sure when a tissue box was empty that it was saved so I could make a catapult with my boys and they were SO excited.
K kept giving me instructions (ie bossing me around) on how to make it and the instructions at the site were not clear enough for my tired mommy brain. We ended up using a paper clip instead of a pipe cleaner (because, I somehow do not own a single pipe cleaner!) and had to wing it. There were cranky voices and maybe a few raised voices.
Our little catapult did actually launch the marshmallows a few times but then it lost its oomph and we were all a little disappointed.
You win some, you lose some, right?!
At least you have a good attitude about it! My crafts almost exclusively do not work the way they are supposed to if that makes you feel better!
