bullwhip

I took a picture of the full moon last night but it did not turn out. The moon was glorious- not quite a harvest moon, but moving in that direction, with an orange tint. Very dramatic in the dark sky here. If you saw the moon last night, you can imagine now the photo that I was trying to take to post here.

Samuel and I made a duct tape bullwhip tonight (thanks Lyla!). We ended up cutting off some of ours so that it would be easier for Samuel to whip. The original was a little too long. The length ended up being about 56 inches and Samuel cut the dowel to be 7 inches. We ran out of brown duct tape and ended up using some red that he picked out at the same time today at the hardware store. This turned out to be just right and I must say the brown bullwhip with the red handle is smashing. Eva picked out yellow duct tape and wants to make another doll out of it.



Samuel with his new bullwhip! A dream come true!
