My friends often have similar traits. They always love children. They are almost always crafty, which I am not. And strangely enough their favorite color is usually pink. I know, strange, I don't even like pink.
I guess there is some logic. If you don't like children you will enter my house, do a 180 and escape. I want to do that some days and I love children! Whenever there is a craft project that needs done I always call someone creative because I lack the imagination to succeed on my own. As for the pink, I can't even make any excuses for them. It is just the way they are.
Over the years, I can't even count how many times Sylvia has come to save the day. She has cut my children's names into snowflakes with exacto knives. She has made some crazy cub grub art, including reindeer cookies and a cake train, both were eaten in thirty seconds or less. She painted a scarecrow on cardboard so that children could throw wet sponges at it. She has made costumes, clay Zelda figurines, mended leather footballs, and made stockings. My children have spent many hours painting, beading, creating at her kitchen table.
My sister Paula is the manager at the Olympia Olive Garden. Last week, Paula was here and we had a wonderful idea. What if I carved an Olive Garden pumpkin? I say that like I thought I could pull it off on my own. I called Sylvia. The top two pictures are her amazing pumpkin and the last is mine.
Ever wonder what stay at home moms do all day? We have a really wonderful time!
