Yep, that's what I am.
Check these out for proof. Peanut-butter ball dough maps of the U.S. Are they learning geography, or is it just a sugar rush? Who knows? They look cool, though, don't they? Oh, you don't know, because I haven't shown them to you? I put them all here rather than have four big map images here on the blog. Don't ask me why it works that way, it just does. I could stop it, but I'm not interested in trying. I'll put just a couple of shots here.
The map itself is made, as I said, of peanut-butter ball "dough." The rivers are red Twizzlers. The green sprinkles indicated the plains. The chocolate chips are the mountain ranges, the blue icing represents lakes, and the M&M is Washington, DC.
And here are the boys working on the project:

Yum! You are awesome. And I am so impressed you even got Lake Okeechobee on there.
My, the boys are getting big.

You rock, and I'm not letting my boys see the pics anytime soon. :} *sigh* I could really go for a bag full of mountains right about now.

Wow. That's very cool. I need the recipe. Not that we'll be making a map. But the dough looks really yummy - and I see a verified endorsement there in that one shot! ;-)
No wonder you're tired. I think crafty projecty things consume 500 calories an hour, but they all come out of the brain...

Now, now, E ... it's *hard* to be accurate with Twizzlers. We had some big river going kinda up the middle. That counts, right?
Lake of the Woods isn't even on our big wall map of the U.S. What are you hiding, out there?
