Ok. So lately things have been a little hectic. Probably no more than usual and I know not really any busier than anyone else, but it has still been hectic. True, I have still been a slacker when it comes to blogging and I really do promise to do better; however the problem is that when we start a new project, or work on something new it always turns into something bigger than it probably should be. The kids joke that that is just the Draper way-- "GO BIG OR GO HOME". However, lately when we start talking about doing something like a poster for Jr. Miss, or decorations for the Accadian Auction or MORP, or remodeling the kitchen, the question now is if the project is going to turn into a 'TACO'.....Let me explain...
When Erin was in third grade she 'jokingly' said she wanted to be a taco for Halloween. "Wouldn't that be an awesome costume?" she says. "That would be kind of cool" I say in return. "Let me think about it and see what I can come up with".
So I thought about it.... I had learned to work with foam a couple of years earlier when we did a float for the 24th of July Parade so I figured I could put those skills to work on a costume.
Erin went to bed one night and when she woke up, she was a taco! Who would have thought?Anyway, now when ever Suzie or I say there is some project or another coming up, the first thing that comes out of someones mouth is "TACO?"....
Dumb question... of course it is going to be a taco! I wouldn't have it any other way! And really, the family might complain a little but they wouldn't have it any other way either! GO BIG DRAPER'S OR GO HOME!
(I think that was the same year I made four foot round m&m costumes out of foam for Scott, Deni and several of Deni's friends... but that is another story!).
