The YW painted flower pots for Mother's Day. It was not rocket science. It was more along the lines of a 2nd grade art project. I fully expected it to take all of about 5 minutes.
We took the entire time.
I brought some card making supplies as fill (as in time, not land) - I figured we could stretch the time to 15 or 20 minutes. Some of the girls both painted and made a card.
As the last girl was leaving she said "We should do this more often - I like it when we get to be creative."
This should be a lesson to me. I haven't decided what lesson it will be, but it should be a lesson.

Plan for 5 minutes and it takes 45, plan for 45 and it takes 5 minutes. It's always nice when it works in your favor. :)
I agree with Suzanne--yesterdays scouts I thought would take 20 minutes and we'd end with basketball. Instead, we only had time for minor church vandalism before we got out of there.
