Allow me to introduce you to Princess Sparkle (held by Ellie) and Crabby (held by Moira).
Don't strain your eyes, Princess Sparkle and Crabby are imaginary crabs that moved in Friday evening after we read Scaredy Squirrel Goes to the Beach. The crabs are both girls, both red, and they both like hiding where you might not expect them. Crabby moved in first. Moira literally used the "He followed me home, can I keep her?" line. And Princess Sparkle showed up sometime later and participates with less regularity. Crabby sleeps in Moira's crib, enjoys imaginary food from real plates, and came to church in her pocket. He (Moira can't or doesn't say "she") doesn't hit.
Also, Crabby and Princess Sparkle enjoy riding in the cars that the girls made at a free workshop at a home improvement store. Bet you can't guess which one.
The girls assembled their cars mostly by themselves. Actually, Ellie followed the picture directions with no help from me while I tried to convince Moira to bang the hammer on the nail instead of the concrete floor, indescriminate areas of her car, or--WHOA--a little too close to Mommy's eye. Thank goodness for the free safety googles. Needless to say, we'll be returning to the class, if for no other reason than to allow me to bring a camera and capture the girls with their protective bug eyes.

That is so cute! Princess Sparkle and crabby.
Moira was so cute in nursery today... I did the music time for Kim.
Jeremy said he saw you guys at Lowes yesterday. Jeremy and Sean go to those together all the time--it's their "man time".
I love this age and all of the imaginative play that comes with it! Who would have thought that crabs could be so pleasant?!
Thanks so much for those skirt tutorials!! I am going to give them a try. I also love the tulle bedskirt!
It was fun to read about Crabby and Princess Sparkle. Danny takes his "monkey" Color around in his pocket most of the time and he also sleeps in Danny's crib. Sometimes Color goes to work with dad. Also, cool cars! I need to look into fun projects at Lowes and Home Depot. Great idea.
