We've been playing with some play-doh type stuff lately that is a little more foamy, soft, and stretchy (thanks Gma B!) This is the collaborative "snowman" that FGH and I made the other day. It may just be the scariest creature yet. There's a big duplo stuck up his...um...bottom, cookie cutters repeatedly smashed into his head and tummy, a blue chalk nose, and the pencil in his chest, that really takes the prize. For some reason, he insisted on the pencil being shoved in as hard as possible. Now this boy is not really into cuddling dolls or stuffed animals, but this green man really tugged on his heart strings.
Life is busy with the new job and lots of book commissions (yay!). The weather is so wonderful right now so today we opened up the porch and expanded our house with a whole extra room for playing. It's been very fun to get outside again. Our seeds are waiting patiently, it's getting to be a little late for peppers, so we're going to try to get them started this week in our spare time (my favorite and most used joke). Really, we aren't starting that many, but we need to get the set-up going. The yard is looking bigger with all the snow melted away and I'm trying to decide how I'm going to fit so much into our garden plot and also where to get some big pots for container gardening (Sarah???).
