Playing with food.

Thank goodness for Pinterest and all of their fabulous rainy day activities, or as we say in this horrendous Indiana drought season, tonsillectomy-removal-low-key-activities.  Today was all about toothpick and marshmallow sculptures.

Nick and I started off by making the basic house shapes.  Then Blake joined in.

For inquiring minds, Blake is doing remarkably well.  Night 2 was a bit rough, but he's been a rock star of a patient and today even wanted to venture out for a Down Syndrome Indiana picnic.  What a trooper!

I think our creations are quite representative of our differences.  My sculpture/molecule/constellation in front shows my left brained ways.  It may also be reflective of some deep down, yet-to-be-discovered mathematical genius/analytical mind. 

 And Blake's sculpture shows his right brained creativity and imagination.  Disorganized yet fascinating.  I love that he's a lefty! 

 Nick's sculpture toothpicks and marshmallows display his increasing appetite and new found fondness for chopsticks.

This is all that's left of Nick's structure.  It was tasty.
