"Mom." this was Trev. "Where's that clay that we're hydrating? I need to make something."
And then a little while later, "Mom. What paints can I use for this?"
"Mom!" hollers Maddie, "I'm gonna build with these toothpicks and marshmallows!"
"I wanna paint, too!"
Got out the marbles, since the biocolor paints were already out.
"Mom... I was wondering if you could get me a really sharp knife so I can saw a stick in half."
And then saw more off of it. And then more.
"Mom! I need more blood for my scenes! Could you make me some? What's the recipe, again?"
"Mom... I'm writing a poem."
"Mom... can I do these letters here?"
"I'm making a new doll house. One that I can build and make myself."
And there it went.
Lovely, busy day - that's how my days go, which is my excuse for the state of the house ;-)
