Olivia went nuts - I've never seen her imagination so engaged.
I snuck downstairs from my 'office' in the guest room to snap this shot of the family room floor.

At my friend Molly's suggestion, I ordered a roll of rainbow masking tape from Amazon and encouraged the girls to make a city for their toy cars. Olivia went nuts - I've never seen her imagination so engaged. I helped her map out a road, and then she added a hospital, a grocery store, a post office, a house, two parks, a field of cows, a firehouse and police station, and a hotel. Then she added a whole grid of sidewalks & bike paths.

It was so fun to watch! And now I kinda wish I had my own toy cars.

Editors note: Here's another clever idea !
