today was "read in the bathtub day" at the library (it's a national holiday! look it up!) so i made a bathtub (complete with shower head that spouted ribbon water) for the kids to read in.


you'll notice that i spray painted the outside of the bathtub white. the kids were fascinated by this process.

one of them came up to me and asked: "can i have the can when you're done?"
"NO!" i replied.
"oh," he said and walked away. a minute later, he came back. "you know," he told me, "those earrings are really beautiful. you look really pretty."
"not going to work," i informed him.
"darn," he said and walked away again.

(thanks for the earrings, sandy!)
