(Actually, Ethan's name for me sounds more like "MY" but I'm never sure how to spell that.)
When the boy came home and announced he had chosen a diorama for his "Courage of Sarah Noble" project and had no idea when it was due, my heart sank a little. But then we found a folding board to make it on, Ethan started drawing where things should go, we looked up Connecticut tribes online to see what their wigwams would look like, we found a recipe for salt dough so he could build a hill that's mentioned in the story, and we checked the front yard and the recycling bin for cardboard and sticks to work with. Ethan mixed dough while I rounded up paint...anyway, it all started coming together, and I had to admit, he was right. We are a pretty awesome team.
