We ran the 5 in 49 something today...just about right. I like breaking 50 minutes. That's about what my body can handle but it doesn't seem too slow. I am working on a texture quilt...crumpy on the blog gave me the idea. It's usually for babies. But I needed a new comforter on my bed so I decided to make myself one. It's going to be so cool. I have almost 80 different types of fabric on it. Crazy thing is that I am having so much fun doing it that I keep dreaming about it..going to the fabric store picking out fabric...etc. Then my little Julia wakes up this morning and tells me that she dreamt about my quilt too. I'll have to call it the dream quilt. Anyone still reading...I like to make up stories for my kids. I've made up a whole series based on trees that talk and kids that travel the world hearing the stories the trees tell. Started out that I wanted it to be purely educational...teaching them values, geography. Unfortunately(or maybe not) it's turned into a wonderland of creativity where we explore worlds that don't exist....Yesterday's story was Queen Rainbow. Cheesy story but my kids...and even Sasha ate it up. It's about a place where a king has lost his wife and decrees that everything must be frozen all winter long...even the people and the trees....he wants no color at all. The heroes of the story sing him a rainbow song...(without knowing his wife's name) and it reminds him of his wife...Queen Rainbow...of course it ends happily ever after where his cold heart melts and color is allowed back in his kingdom. My kids are probably learning to be silly and make up dumb stories from things like this but maybe they are also picking up things about plot and general story themes. Okay..i'm done. :) |
