Transportation

The kids are studying all about transportation at school...different ways to get around. Our show and tell this week is a chance for kids to bring a transportation item from home to share with our friends. Okay, cool, we have TONS of cars, trains, trucks, motorcycles, planes, construction vehicles and even a remote control garbage truck...tons of vehicles to choose from.

What does Mr. D choose? A broomstick!!! Of course that's what Harry Potter Jr. would select. It definitely gets him around, that's for sure. Since we didn't have one at home, shocker, right? we came home this afternoon and began construction. With the sticks already waiting at the front door (we collect all of our nature treasures in a pot at the front door, since nature stays outside). We rounded up the raffia in the wrapping closet, broke out the hot glue gun and got to work. It was definitely a team effort. There's no way Harry could have a broomstick and not Hermione, so the 3 of us worked together to make 2 broomsticks.

We'll find out tomorrow if Mr. D's broomstick survives the trip to school...

As for Little Miss A, she's bringing "Deary" a stuffed dear from our road trip last summer that she completely adores. She's right though, you could potentially ride a dear as well.

I've got to hand it to the Caswell Kids...they are definitely outside the box thinkers!!!! :)
