"There's not enough sticks in this town!" -Evalyn in a sad and indignant voice.
It all began on a walking trip downtown as a family on Sunday. As we headed out the door, Evalyn immediately jumped into the snow. Digging holes with her hand, her new favorite winter activity, she said that she needed a stick for snow digging on the way to the Oneota Co-op. The past couple of walks to school have included Evalyn gathering sticks for me to carry that she can use at some undetermined time later. On Sunday's trip, she found some sticks just on the other side of the sidewalk that she wanted me to carry for her. I said, "Honey, I'm not carrying these sticks the whole way to downtown from our house. You can find some other ones in the park (right across the street from where we live) when we walk though it." Her response? The opening statement.
