"How can it be a large career to tell other people’s children about the Rule of Three, and a small career to tell one’s own children about the universe? How can it be broad to be the same thing to everyone and narrow to be everything to someone? No, a woman’s function is laborious, but because it is gigantic, not because it is minute." ~ G.K. Chesterton

What do you do on a cold day?
You find a spool of packing string and drag several 50 foot long "snakes" around the house.

Later, Mommy untangles the snakes from chair legs and cuts out trapped toys from the web, and possibly frees a child or two.
Then you gather up every blanket and pillow in the house to build a fort!

After you've had your fill of the fort, you jump on the roof to bring it crashing to the ground! Without realizing your two-year-old brother is still playing under there. The screams bring Mommy running from the next room. Ah, life with boys!

ReplyDeleteIt is a glorious thing to use string as a toy. I gave our children plastic herb bottles (after I washed them out) They have been playing store all afternoon. You are such a good momma!
