Side-by-side

This morning the boys and I found ourselves in the sewing room (okay, who am I kidding--it is just my bedroom, but a girl with a small house can wish), creating, making, and imagining, side-by-side.

There was a little bit of this

And a little bit of this

And a little boy still in his jammies crouched under the ironing board with trains driving down a sewing machine-attachment-ramp

With a 3- and a 5-year-old attention span, I had to work fast and though the time spent wasn't long, it was very pleasant.

Now I just need to bottle up the sweet feeling in that room for opening later when one of those trains gets thrown at someone "on accident" or that pencil becomes the main attraction for a grabbing match.
