Feathers and little treasures
Most of you know about Ethan’s true love and adoration for all “cuties.” Well, we have a system where they can earn nickels for doing their chores and service for others. So they’ve saved up for a while and recently I took Isaac and Ethan to Toys R Us to spend some of their nickels. Isaac found a million things he wanted, but Ethan just couldn’t find anything that held his interest for too long. Well, day before yesterday we found ourselves at Wal-Mart in the craft section. He spotted a bag of 1,000 bright colored cutie feathers and I knew at that moment, they had to be his. So he spent the $1.97 on them and has been in heaven ever since. The first thing he did when we got home was run to his bed, tear open the bag all over his bed, and rolled in the feathers, giggling and rubbing them and throwing them in the air. Needless to say, you can find hot pink, red, blue, orange and purple feathers anywhere you go in our house! I love Ethan!
Also, as I pick up the house, many times I find tiny treasures that the children have left behind and I don’t really know what to do with these treasures. So I started setting them on the ledge of our counter in the kitchen. As the treasures accumulated I thought, wow, this looks kind of ecclectic and artistic, I’ll make this a cool collection and continue to see how far around the kitchen we can stretch this!
