Our mom wasn't home very often when we were younger. We had so much fun in that house on Dolly Varden. A street, a neighborhood, full of teen-aged kids. A house, three stories, filled with toys and wonder.
We got bored... rarely. Or, shall I say we got bored often, but always found a quick cure. Maybe not the smartest cure, but fun!!
We had the occassional food fight in and outside the house, water fight, toy fights.... but on this particular day... we got into our mom's preschool craft cabinets. And found to our astonishment, buckets and buckets of glitter!!!!
The glitter fight was the worst of them all. Everywhere was sparkling by the end of the day. The yard, the couch, our rooms, the bath tubs and toilets, the kitchen, our mom's bedroom, our cat and dog, our clothes and skin... but worst of all... the carpets.... we learned that glitter does NOT come out of carpets. And had to vaccuum several times a day for days, weeks, and months!!!
