THE OLD LADY WHO LIVED IN A SHOE

My dear daughter in law stopped by with the kiddos yesterday and, per usual, we all had fun. We had no plans but to sit and chatter and watch the boys play so we enjoyed the time to sip coffee, compare notes and allow our stress levels to diminish!

She mentioned they needed an idea for Mother Goose Day at school. Without much thought I envisioned one of my son’s size 16 boots and “The Old Lady Who Lived in a Shoe” jumped into my mind. It’s strange how sometimes you fight an idea and other times it claims you immediately! Well, this idea practically assaulted me and I could see Samuel standing with a scarf around his head, holding a huge boot with toy figures oozing out its sides!

I guess you can see the inspiration came to fruition by that afternoon! Tara added the apron…great idea, Tara…and the boot had lots of laces on which to tie the figures and more importantly Samuel was a hit at school!

I was pleased my idea worked. It was the best kind of fun as it cost not a penny and it gave both Samuel and Tara a fun project to work on together!
