The New Floor

"Hi Jubi!" I greeted my favorite sister. "Aren't you cold? I asked. A tee-shirt in November! Brrr. It made me cold just thinking about it.

"No. I'm just checking out our new wood flooring."

"It's nice, isn't it?" I smile. "What do you think about it? Be honest!"

"I LOVE it!" Jubi grinned happily. "I'll show you how much I love it." She laid down on the floor, and spread her arms out. "That looks slightly unusual," I giggled.
"It's definitely not as soft as the old carpet," She admitted.

We both sat down on the wood floor. "The only thing is...I can't safely practice my gymnastics in here anymore. And if it's not safe, Mama won't let me do it for sure." I sighed.
"Don't worry! Mama will give you a place to practice."
"I was hoping she'd buy a gymnastics mat."
Jubi threw her head back and laughed. "You're funny, Ivy!"

"The good thing about this floor is," Jubi said, "is that there's more room to play in!"
We both stood up and looked around. Yup. It WAS really really big!
"Let's play then!" I suggested. We held hands, and thought of something.

"Let's play our flower girl story," I said. Jubi nodded. "Okay, flower girls it is!"
There's nothing like a big room and a powerful imagination.

Or in our case, there's nothing like a good friend and sister.

Big hooray for Thanksgiving! What are you all doing? I honestly have no idea what we're doing. :)
Until next time...
