Never Glitter
Mikey got to pick out a pumpkin at school and decorate it for Halloween. He looks so proud of his choice! His happiness and joy for life never gets old.
You want to know how you can tell that this craft project was completed at school? I never, under any circumstances, do anything involving glitter, glitter paint or glitter glue!
Glitter is like stuff you put on the internet. That sh*t lives forever! I’ve made it this far in my parenting journey by trying not to make my life harder than it needs to be. Glitter can stay at the craft store!
