Homemaking Skills

Recently, Jacque was was bitten by the sewing bug and it caused her to become delirious for 3 full days. While lacking her sanity, she decided to try making a quilt. For three long days she scurried around in the basement, only emerging to de-pressurize her bladder and sometimes to shower. During that time all I heard was the electronic hum of a sewing machine, a few power tools, an elephant, and a few loud thumps quickly followed by some choice words that I shall not repeat. And then finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the ordeal was over and Jacque emerged with her newest creation. Made from titanium fabric with carbon fiber threading, her quilt represents the newest technology available to stay-at-home moms and also doubles as bomb shelter in times of war.
Connor wasn't entirely convinced so he decided to test firsthand the strength and integrity of mommy's latest creation. Sure enough, it not only withstood the highly scientific trample-on-top-of-a-pregnant-lady test, but it passed with flying colors.
After seeing mommy's new creative capabilities and an old Macgyver rerun, Little Man decided to show off some of his own homemaking skills. In this episode he narrowly escapes starving for 3 days (while mom is in the basement battling her new sewing machine) by making loaves of bread out of oversized Lego blocks. Apparently the trick is getting the right mixture of red to yellow blocks... the other colors are just fillers.
