Saturday Play

Jedi or Darth?
Saturday, the kids and I spent a "slow day" of no routine or pointed action, although it vanished into past tense as quickly as the last. I spent some hours on the phone. My children never quite leave me to leisure phone conversations, but I did leave them to their own imaginations for the day. Their imaginations have been influenced by galactic proportions in the recent viewing of Star Wars. Yes, they are still too young, but nevertheless it is done. A whole new universe has opened up to them of battle, adventure, and heroism. Light sabers are now the most valued possession. And my, I couldn't help but smile at the creative unleashing of tape, glue sticks, cardboard boxes, paper sacks, construction paper, and scattered markers.
