We Need You, Baby Oliver!

E-man is the only man cousin on my side of the family. There is baby Oliver, but he's a baby and he lives in Wisconsin. My sister has four girls (Drama, Pooh Bear, the Boss, and the Baby), with whom E-man and Roo love to play. The cousins are in town this week, and this was the first thing Drama (second from left) said to E:

Drama: Wanna do crafts?
E: I could make some daggers.
Drama: (hesitates) I made flowers.

Baby Oliver - we need you! Please grow up and come play with us. These girls don't get daggers, guns, dogs, and dirt.

Hey, crafting is all about what makes your heart happy. Drama did do "mannly" type activities this week, she went to home depot, charmed the male workers into cutting her two 10 foot rain gutters into 3 pieces each with a hack saw. Then she came home and sanded the edges smooth, attached end caps and helped hang them on the wall by her bed for some awesome bookshelves. The key is to make her feel like it was her idea!

Hopefully Ethan can teach Oliver some "manly things" like getting dirty and making daggers when we come out in May!
