A Totally Pointless Task.

Today it rained. 
Our patio flooded with fresh, cold water, with dirt and with leaves. My memory flooded with other rainy days; a little girl all dressed in pink, stomping around in puddles and making little boats out of styrofoam to float in the flooded area under the house. 

Our Archer is still too young for me to captivate him in the world of make believe... but I thought maybe I needed a refresher course in case my imagination had dried up.
So tonight, I made a little boat out of styrofoam.
The Boy, to my delight (though not to my surprise), picked up sticky tape and stanley knife and humoured me.



I feel better after doing that. More... I don't know, childish, I guess. It was refreshing to do something totally pointless for a change.
