Inventions

Typically, J is my ‘inventing’ child. She loves to save reject parts or broken pieces so she can use them in an invention. Right now she is poring over the blueprints she and her friend La (not to be confused with friend L) designed. If I interpreted them correctly they are working on building their karate sensei a workout center. J brought home the blue prints to work on along with the letter for sensei and La was charged with getting sandbags (actually, she was charged with getting sand and bags, I made the leap on what they would end up as).

Not to be outdone, S has been working on an invention of her own the last couple of days - her first. It’s a book holder. The book is secured at the end of a 'handle' and the user shakes the handle to make the pages turn. The handle - a paper towel holder - has a tissue secured by a lime green hairbow at the opposite end from the book. I asked her what that was there for, and it is in case you need little things like snacks with you, you can put them in and they won't fall out. Of course, it was cute when she presented it…but once she added the S flair…well, words don’t do justice.
