Whatever floats our boat

Today, after Sunday School we came home to make our boat for "boats 'n floats night" at AWANA.
Our time frame, about an hour.
Our tools. An airbed, rope, brown duct tape, and a black sharpie.
Our bodies. Boys #1,2, & 3....and one perfectionistic neurotic mom.

In the end, we really did end up w/ something that looked like a log raft, from a distance with my glasses off. But hey, for 6, 8, & 10 year old boys it was great!

Come time to load it in the car, we discovered it was too long to fit in the van sideways, and too windy to tie it to the top. So the boys got to ride to church w/ a "raft" resting on their heads.
Mr. M then got the priviledge of wrestling against the wind to get it into the church gym. He won, barely.

Their real reward was a comfy, airfilled seat on the gym floor, popcorn, candy, and a movie.
Not bad pay for an hours work.
