I'm sending it to my nephews tomorrow, a little late, I know... I guess I'll have to overnight ship it, so they can at least have it by the third. I didn't include a window #1 because I figured opening up the package containing the calander can be #1. And when they get it, they'll have to open up #s 2 & 3 together...
I'm blogging about it for two reasons. One, I'm kind of proud of it. I used styrofoam and two thick poster boards and painter's tape. It was a fun project, but quite a bit of work. (Plus, when I was almost done with it, cleaning up the styrofoam remnants on the floor, I tipped over my white nun drink and spilled frothed milk and Bailey's all over it! Thankfully, I don't think it smells like alcohol, and I don't think it's sticky anymore....) The second reason I'm blogging about it is so my sister-in-law can check here if they're unsure about how any of the windows work!
...But I hope the boys don't see the blog, because I don't want them to see what's to come for the rest of the month!

Day 11: Shreck temporary tatoos. There's 8 of them on the sheet in the envelope. They're itty bitty.
Day 12: A picture of presents. They can color the picture.
Days 1-15:
Day 13 is another 'picture to brighten the day'
Day 14 is a picture of a Christmas tree that says something along the lines of "We're half way to Christmas!"
Day 15 has some 3D starwars stickers.
"Make sure to get all 5 stickers, and make sure to share!"
I made a little pouch for the stickers.
Day 16: This is another one of the ones that I did last. It got a little tiring making each of these! It's just some decorations behind the door. "I stuck this sticker" -- It's one of the StarWars stickers.
Days 17 and 18: The second and 3rd wise men. Blogger didn't feel like uploading one of them, but you get the point from this one picture.
Day 19: Watergun(s)!
"Only 1 would fit here..."
There's also a note on one of those windows to Day 19
that there are 4 more waterguns stored in the top of the calendar.
(Under the white paper)
