So, what exactly is a decapus?

Last Thursday was a VERY slow day, so I pulled out the summer craft ideas I picked up from this very crafty lady's blog. As we began to make the handprint octopus, I realized that a difficult decision was about to be made....should I use the entire handprint and ignore the fact that the octopus would have 10 arms instead of 8 or should I (as my husband suggested) "cut off some fingers" on the handprint (can you tell the man operates for a living??). Well, what mother could tamper with a precious little handprint. I prayed for nine months that all 1o of those fingers would grow and develop perfectly according to God's plan, I wasn't about to do away with 2 of them! So, here you go, the moment you've all been waiting for.......

The DECAPUS!
We also made jellyfish out of paper plates and crepe paper! I thought they turned out so cute and no fingers were compromised in the process.
