"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

So Far This Week...

... GQ has taken his recent "I will not eat anything you give me" habit to the unreasonable lengths of poking holes in a doughnut, and throwing it on the ground in apparent disgust.

... M has taken gum out of the garbage - after ballet, from someone in class - and chewed it herself. Yum.

... and E has been a normal, well-adjusted child who eats her dinner (and doughnut) and does not chew pre-used gum.

Meanwhile, I finished sewing some dolls for the girls which I did take pictures of, but will refrain from posting in an effort to spare you all.

About 20 minutes after I handed E and M the dolls, they broke. And I even read the instructions. And sometimes I even followed them.

I suppose I will have to practice a little more before I give anyone a gift.

I think you should put up the pictures of the dolls. If I had ever done a craft I am sure it would be all over my blog.
