Christmas crafts

A few weeks ago while we were out Christmas shopping, we picked up some crafting supplies, and have been trying to make time every few days to work on another project.  Today the kids picked out ornaments to paint.  It holds their attention for a surprisingly long time, but at least one of them still needs pretty close supervision with a paint brush (ahem, Ben.  Picture this: paint where he doesn't want it, so natural response is to launch a paint-filled brush across the room in a fit of rage.  Anger management, much?)
