Tess's Pre-K Scarecrow

Once again we had to make a scarecrow for Pre-K. And once again I was thrilled.

Once again I need a sarcasm font.

I had been dreading this for a week because I knew what would happen. We'd start the project, Tess would make a big mess, we'd fight a little over what she could and could not do, and then she'd get bored and leave me to finish.

And that is exactly what happened. Tess made a big mess with the raffia and buttons. Then she fought me when I told her she couldn't steal all of my buttons. (Did I want to find and pick up buttons all over the house for the next fortnight? I did not.) Then we fought over making her cut things out. Then she got bored and left, which was fine by me at first, but then we had to fight over cleaning up. (Apparently Tess thinks I'm a maid. A maid who does crafts for with her.)

Now she's downstairs watching some weird and highly energetic Japanese preschool cartoon on Netflix. It's bizarro in only the way Japan does bizarro, and Tess loves it. Bonzai! Bonzai! And I'm upstairs feeling thankful that this is the last pre-k scarecrow I'll ever have to "help" make. (Bonzai!)
