The girls and I made play dough the other day together during their winter break. It is so fun to sit together and make all sorts of play dough works of art. This past Wednesday after dinner, we pulled out the soft, pink blobs and passed the time creating this hot air balloon scene. I helped a bit with the basket but the girls imagined the rest. I love how they worked together, not once arguing about composition. Rosie did the bear in the basket and layered quite a collection of clouds to the right. Brookie added a lunch basket under the main one, complete with lunch inside, a fantastic spidery sun and another cloud. We sat and admired it for a while, each of us quietly sailing in a bright blue sky, before squishing it in a big ball and packing it away until next time.

The beginning of all great achievements is imagination. xx
Having the opportunity to let your imagination soar as a child is such a gift. A well-developed imagination helps you to see the world as is should be and that's the beginning of all change. What a blessing to have this creative time together, for all of you. xxx
