We need a bit of time to ourselves in order to take a fresh look at things.<br />Just had a look at your slideshow with my 4 year old, you have a truly beautiful family. We loved the baby pics.Kelly Casanovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13089138869326091823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865763819603324836.post-85107547297086106232009-11-14T12:19:40.505+11:002009-11-14T12:19:40.505+11:00My sister's boys once made a PVC marshmallow-s...My sister's boys once made a PVC marshmallow-shooter for my son that he *loved*. It was made of 1/2" PVC pieces (shaped like a gun) which they painted & decorated. Instructions are pretty easy to find on the web...I'm thinking about surprising him with another one this Christmas as he lost all of the pieces over time!Collettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09702160325352793035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865763819603324836.post-11326735121607585832009-11-14T10:25:18.599+11:002009-11-14T10:25:18.599+11:00Hi Gae,

I actually bought mine, but that was just because I saw some for girls in a shop in the mall and went in and asked if they had them for boys. She said they did, but hadn't gotten them out yet. I asked how much and it was a very low price, so I was interested. She came back and said they were actually quite a bit more, but since she quoted me that price, I could buy them right then for that amount. I knew I couldn't make them for that, so I bought them. Of course it's not a toy, but one idea for gifts.<br />Blessings,<br />MarciaSimple Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655741174904816921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865763819603324836.post-18744973537061765292009-11-14T06:53:22.515+11:002009-11-14T06:53:22.515+11:00Hmm, lots on your plate right now Gae.

My boys like playing around with theirs and they are super easy to make.

It's so easy to think of things to make for my girls, but I am having a hard time coming up with things for the boys. Please post about what you figure out! So far all I've got is new knitted hats! I don't think they'll be too excited about that.Ginnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554195760602365553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865763819603324836.post-12033457002120875052009-11-14T01:08:00.900+11:002009-11-14T01:08:00.900+11:00I think fiction can be a total wonder -- and it...I think fiction can be a total wonder -- and it's a balm I too often forget about. A bit ago I formed a theory (I always form my little theories) that the deal with fiction is that you get to enter lives of other people, which brings sympathy and compassion and also reminds us of what our own beliefs and priorities and stumbling blocks are. We need other people to learn how to love better and we need to know people to know God -- but me knowing all about my neighbor's ups and downs, well, that too often for me falls into gossip. Some can do it well, but for me and I suspect I'm not alone, knowing all about other real people only makes me competitive or insecure or catty. So fiction is kind of "practice" for me to develop empathy?<br />Or maybe that's just my excuse. . . . !Mariehttp://twowaysofrenouncingthedevil.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
