Risky Business???

Ever have one of those days where you are exhausted have a million things to do and don't know which one of them to do first? Well, I had one of those days yesterday.

While I was in the process of cleaning up the living room, I picked up an empty tissue box and asked Mason to throw it away. He paused, looked at the box, and asked if he could have it. I, of course, said, "It is trash. What are you going to do with it?" He told me he was going to use it for a project and ran off. A few minutes went by then he came back and asked me for some rubber bands. I have learned not to question such requests, so I told him they were on my desk. Then, he came back. "Mom, can we go outside to get a stick?" I told him, "no", "You can use my yard stick if that will work." Off he ran. A few minutes later he came into the room with a homemade guitar. It was absolutely adorable and ingenious. I was so impressed! He was so happy with his guitar! He still hasn't wanted to put it down. I still can't stop smiling about how smart and creative it was.

With Christmas around the corner and me worrying about what Santa is going to bring. My son found an empty tissue box, rubber bands and a yard stick and is so happy he can't stand it. It makes me realize that I am going crazy over nothing. They will find a way to play with just about anything and be happy. They are kids. They are creative, imaginative, beautiful children, who always look at everything sunny side up. We should all try to look at things that way.

That said, after he made his guitar I took pictures. Mason is always running around in his underwear. He is the cutest little rock star ever!
