Last night I looked around our house and was convicted about the massive amounts of toys that my kids have. I'm not sure how to start narrowing down the number of toys, but I know that I need to. So this morning I decided to pay attention to what my kids played with and what they never touched. They played with the: marble track, train table, duplos, blocks . . . and a blanket. Yup, the old quilt off of my bed. First we used it to play with beans. We spread it out on the floor and played with the dry beans that I keep in a tub. Then Samuel decided it was a road for his cars. We drove cars on it forever. He put a pillow under it for a hill and made up parking lots for McDonald's, an ice cream place, etc etc. After that all 3 kids sat on it and I pulled them around the house "just like a sled!" Samuel said. Then the blanket was converted into a fort. I wish I would have taken a picture of all 4 things . . . but I just captured the last 2. So . . . there you have it! Samuel has a cool car mat in his room . . . but really, who needs that when you have a quilt that you can pretend with?
