It never ceases to amaze me the creative resourcefulness of my girls. While I was at lunch today and the girls we being sat with my friends three daughters they decided they needed fishing poles. Of course the play of the day is Little House or some variation of it, since there are six girls instead of three. The sitter thought they were playing with sticks when in fact they were doing much more. You see, for them just sticks would not do for a fishing pole. While they have not really seen one up close before or handled one, they ended up creating something very close to a real pole. They used earring wires from the bead box for the hook at the end. They found wooden spools to make into a reel and wired it on, again with jewelry wire and then found string to wind up on the reel. All they need is some live bait and of course a body of and water and they are set.










Whoa, that actually looks like it could work.
that’s cool. they are crafty. just like their mom.
A reel mystery where they get their talent from! (Get it? Real? OK, I’ll stop now…) Those are amazingly creative! BTW, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

On Preschoolers and Peace blog site you mentioned that you are originally from Santa Rosa. That’s where I grew up too. In fact I still have relatives there. Did you go to a Christian School or public? I went to Christian Life School (at Christian Life Center). Do you remember/ know it? Just curious.
