It was Sunday morning, and I said, "Kids, I know what we're doing today! We are making this menorah."
Well, Max had play practice (more on that to come), but Sam was happy to oblige. But in the process, Sam made a major change. He decided to make a menorah out of Legos. Which is good, because I was having trouble drilling holes in some of our toy dinosaurs.
Turns out it was difficult to get the right sized hole in Legos too. After much searching and drilling through different materials, we found these rubbery things that say they were meant for using candles in an oil menorah. Then, Sam spray painted the whole thing silver.
Perfect, right?
It was, and Chanukah arrived, and Sam lit this baby up.
We sang, exchanged gifts, and all that jazz.
And a little while later, a strange smell was coming from the living room. So, it could be the spray paint, or the rubber candle holders, both of which seem flammable to me. Either way, it was a little bit too well lit, and had to be put out.
Sam declared it a Pinteret fail, even though Pinterest was never involved in the first place. But, it seems like the type of project that would be found on Pinterest.
Since this post is a story of Sam's craftiness, I will share this layout here. Same craftiness, different story.
Happy Chanukah, and Happy Thanksgiving!
