November 5: Foam house kit

There is a time for original creation, and there is a time for following instructions off a box, especially if that box was a thrift store find. J. and I put together a foam house, and D. helped us decorate it. We enjoyed sticking flowers and leaves on the roof, and I secretly wanted to live in this house, or rather live in a world in which I could live in a house like this and not feel weird or guilty about it. The drawing in the back is J’s Halloween creation that he brought from school today.  I like the witch. I also like how no matter what, making things and reading books can always calm him down.
