For Family Home Evening two weeks ago we made a paper mache volcano. (It was for a ward activity) For any of you who have not done this, paper mache is a paste made from flour and water (there are other recipes as well) mixed together. You dip newspaper strips into the paste. Then you begin to build or shape the desired object. The paper mache can be shaped as long as it is wet. Neither of my boys had ever worked with paper mache - infact they didn't even no what it was. J.D. kept complaining that he didn't want to make a paper mache volcano - that is until he actually saw what it was then he decided that maybe it wouldn't be so bad after all!!! They had a good time - and I bet I could even talk J.D. into making another one sometime. :) Althought I'm not so sure about Dad - he was kind of a nervous wreck about the mess they were making - who would of thought!! :):)

I find myself on Delmer's side. I was internally squirming looking at the table and thinking, "what a nightmare to clean up!"
