Creative Space

When Sweet Pea takes her morning nap, the boys and I gather books together and arrange ourselves just-so. Their growing elbows always accidently poke my lap as they lean close to listen, one on each side of me.


Last week we read The Story of the Alamo, and Andy and I woke before dawn to hear a complete reinactment already taking place in the playroom!


And after we read The Story of Old Ironsides, these two boys went searching for materials to build their own great ship.



Two boys + empty laundry-soap box + limbs we pruned off peach trees +scrap of fabric + a few toy cannons = a good deal of fun!
