Soap Boats and a New Auction

One thing I remember from my early childhood is "soap boats" - which seems to be a phenomenon in my family (poor Tom had never heard of such a thing). It's when you lather up the hair really well, take the lather into your hands, and then set it afloat in the tub. John LOVES soap boats and asks for them at every bath. I hope he remembers them fondly when he's older.

Tom, of course, teaches them other equally amazing bath tricks such as "soap beards." At first John would stick his whole face into the suds, coming up with lather all over his face. Now he has learned to strategically place the suds onto his face - and he insists that you do the same, otherwise he will apply the suds to your face himself. So bathtime has continued to be a very wet, soapy affair.

In other news, here's a new auction. I haven't been this excited about a new design in a while, and I plan to play around with other colors in the future...
