while THEY were watching ESPN

i have no words..

sunday evening our friends jordan and bridger booras came over for dinner and games. we ate and then jordan helped me make baby shower invitations. the boys made fun of us for doing crafts. but... a few minutes later, who was doing the crafts?
the boys got talking about making a water balloon launcher to take with us to bear lake over the fourth of july. they youtubed 'how to make a water balloon launcher', but decided not take the youtube advice. they thought they could make a better one. typical boys. bridger ran home and came back with workout bands, fabric (that the booras' used to cover their chairs), and a needle and thread. as you can see, nick is trying to thread the needle (which ended up being a needle tied to the thread and bridger telling him he did it wrong). bridger is actually good at sewing. he hand-sewed reinforcements around all the holes and sewed on a handle. unfortunately, we tested the launcher and the balloon got squished in the fabric and exploded over nick before it even took flight. we went back and the boys decided to try something different. bridger ran home again and came back with a drill, and a funnel. i guess that's how boys do crafts. in the end, the water balloon launcher was a success.
