spring in the fifth grade is a BIG deal. we've got the 'penny book' (more to come later)AND
the INVENTION.
the BIG invention.
sam has been thinking about this for months.
when he told me his idea, i was in awe at how brilliant this was.
then, i googled it.
i mean, come on, why didn't SOMEONE come up with this before NOW!!???
well, someone had.
HOWEVER, since he didn't know that, we ran with it!!
after all, theirs wasn't near this cool and theirs had a weird shape.
his had more compartments and it was softer, i'm sure.
oh wait, have i even told what he invented???
sorry, i hadn't.
it's called the PILLOW POD. (dad helped come up with that name)
since sam likes to hit the hay with his i-pod on, and i was always worried about the cord getting tangled around his neck (um, yes, i am that overprotective mother you've heard about & i'm NOT ashamed of it!) he thought it would be great to create something that would allow the headphones to be buried into the pillow, cord coming out the back!
so we decided that if we are going to have a pocket to hold your i-pod, may as well have one that holds your DS too.
of course, there also needed to be a place for his book. (shocking, NOT the 5th graders idea).
sam and i trucked it down to Micheal's, picked out the super awesome camo print fabric and green dye along with 15 other things we didn't need but thought would look Great on the poster. which by the way, we never used.
my dear mother-in-law did some fancy sewing and spiffied the thing up. (thanks mom!)
a little sparkly puff paint and we were good to go.
he was so proud of this.
he had good reason to be.
"it's awesome". (his exact words)
you're right son, it was awesome.
