We read A Quilt Story, a sweet book about a pioneer family and a quilt the mother makes for her daughter. The Quilt is a cape, a picnic blanket for tea parties, and comfort when she's sick or after a big move. Many years later, the quilt is discovered in an attic and gives a new generation the same comfort and familiarity. Adam enjoyed the story even though it stars a girl. He did not however enjoy any coloring sheets that had queens on them or girly looking quilts. I had intended to take on sewing as a project and even planned to teach Adam to make a small pillow with a scrap of Toy Story cloth I picked up some time ago, but my week did not go as Quietly as I would have liked. In fact it was Quite the week...Daddy was out of town. Jill colored her hair with lipstick (do you know how hard that is to wash out of hair?!? It required oil and lots of scrubbing and rinsing and scrubbing and rinsing.)
And then Jason fell off his bike and banged his chin up. I went a good 24 hours wondering and stressing - to take him to the doctor or not to take him (it's been two weeks, he's healing very well, thankfully.)
It was just one of those weeks...fortunately we found time to read our story multiple times, talk about quarters, and even make a paper quilt. I'm going to be happy with that!
