I was up and out of the house today at 7:15. Pretty good for a Saturday. Masters swim starts at 7:30 am which is great for us family types as I am able to get home again usually by 9:00. My daughter was in a great mood this morning. Not her usual moody self. She was given a roll of pink ribon yestarday and has spent her time dreamaing up new ways to use the ribbon. Out of the blue she blurted out "I want Daddy to build my Barbie's a boat". Ah,now isn't that creative. "Why do you want a boat" I asked knowingly. "To put ribbon on it!" Instead of weasling my way out I said sure. Yes, in front of my wife. We had a full day ahead of us including a trip to another city to shop for a few hours. When we got home I got the questions, "so, whatcha going to do about this boat thing?". I answered like any upright tri-geek. "I'm off for run. See you in a couple of hours." No, not procrastinating, just time managing. After dinner I took Soph and a card board box and created this little gem. Not a master piece but it did produce one very happy little girl. I'm all warm and fuzz inside.
