Allie is my creative genius. She is always engaged in a project, most often involving tape. We find evidence of her active imagination everywhere we go. For instance, the other day, our house was converted into an entire city. We found "signs" posted all over the house denoting the function of each room in the "city". There was a note on the front door describing the world that visitors were about to enter. She was very creative with her assignments. Here are her transformations:
Living Room = Church
Kitchen = Restaurant
Family Room = Park
Computer Room = Lab
Hallway = Road
Mom and Dad's Room = Governor's house
Allie and Maddie's Room = Gum Factory
Jayd and Gabe's Room = Baseball Field
Bathroom = Apartment
The factory also had a working gum making machine which was later moved to the park when it became too big for operations in the room. It is pictured above. The mess that accompanies all of Allie's projects is often astounding, but I just keep trying to enjoy the ride, love her imagination for what it is, and remember that someday it will be gone, and I will be sad.
