inventor...

ethan comes up with lots of ideas everyday that he wants to do "when he's a scientist" or that he actually puts into action. he's very creative, he's always thinking of interesting ways to gain his objective....

like today, we've had this red heart mylar balloon (dollar store...) for over a month and it's still floating! he was trying to figure out how to get it down where he could reach it today...
that's logical:)



the other day the tinker toys and blake met the stairs...he was chucking them down the stairs faster than anyone could pick them up so i decided to take pictures of him instead:)



ethan's arrows that came with this boy all broke (like $5 walmart toy) and so he improvises now quite well (see what i mean...creative and resourceful!)

and i am ridiculously excited about this sheet i found at goodwill today....

our ward is doing a service project until september making pillowcases for a local children's hospital...and i know they don't always have a lot of "boy" pillowcases so i went looking today and i found the transformers! (there were also cars (but not Cars), and spiderman, but i opted for the vintage transformers!) it's just so awesome. you don't see them drawn or made like this anymore. i think i like it so much because it's from "my" 80's you know? i also found a blue sheet with white clouds (a la Andy's room in Toy Story) and some flowers for girls...it's going to be some good pillowcase making fun! i am excited to use sheets because it's a lot of fabric and it's also reusing...i'll show 'em when they are done. and...we may even keep a transformer one for the enthusiast at our house;)

How awesome to make pillowcases for the children's hospital. We watch the original Transformers at our house nightly from The Hub tv channel. While I am doing other stuff the boys all including Colby watch it! Fun memories.
