Sage - what a bummer. I hope that clears up soon.
Morgan - We did an easy one in Kindergarten one year. They're not too pretty, but then, most Kindergarten stuff is more about the process than the product, and everyone had fun. We started with little individual milk cartons, and used frosting to glue on graham cracker siding and then decorated them with little candies.
Me, I'm having trouble being patient. I want to nudge the agents who have my full, but I know I should wait. Funny story - When I was little, I went to a nursery school at Stanford (sadly, this doesn't mean I can put Stanford on my resume under Education.) During my time there I participated in an experiment in delayed gratification. They put me in a room with a marshmallow. If I could wait for the researcher to come back, and not eat the marshmallow, I would get another one. I have no recollection of doing this, and when they send me questionnaires as an adult, I always wonder if I waited or not.
And then I have a good belly laugh. Of course that marshmallow was toast as soon as the researcher left the room. Who am I kidding?
