the not-so-last straw

i love the unbridled creativity children have! after we had finished the little clothes pin cars, each one had to have a straw to play with. it's just a plain old straw, one of those that stretch and bend and here's what my babes came up with:

t2: hey, mom, i can burp in my own ear!

 t3 had to have his picture taken because everyone else was. :)

 missT: mom, can i have a string and a pompom?

i want to make a microphone (headset) for when i sing.

these straws also became cannons attached to the cars and wings for planes when pinched in the clothes pin. when all the play was finished, the straws were used for their purpose... and the children guzzled 2-3 cups of water! good, healthy fun. my kind of life.
