little johnny wants to play

Rain, rain, go away. Two and a half feet of my basement carpet is wet. Yuck. That means mold, and I'm irrationaly scared of mold. I'm going to exacto knife the wet carpet padding up today and get rid of it. ahh, the joys of homeownership.

today faith walked to charlottes carrying a teaset tray, and picking up dandilions and calling them mangos. Took us about 20 minutes to go 3 blocks.

fun.

winslow and smooch

I'm Winslow and Faith is Smooch. It's fun to have your daughter insist on calling you Winslow in all social situations. Winslow and Smooch spend most of our time looking for our friend Snook, or going to Bob's house [whoever bob is]. although this morning we were looking for sea shells and chrysallises on the sidewalk. These two characters are apparently monkeys in a pbs show called the big, big world. I like my alter ego winslow--nothing like playing with kids to remember how important the imagination is to children. I used to spend hours in my brain imagining things--I wonder when that fades out as an adult?
