magic time galore.

ultimate magic time 12:34

I don't know about you...but we have magic time at our house many times an hour...and what seems like 100 times a day.

If you haven't heard of or don't know about magic time...here's the breakdown...

Look at your clock.  Any time your clock's numbers run consecutively...it's magic time.  For example 4:56 or 1:23.  The supremely ultimate magic time is 12:34.

It can also be magic time if your clock's number are an equation.  For example 3:36 or 4:48 or 2:35.  See what I mean?  The possibilities for magic time at your house have just gone up exponentially!

I love hearing my kids yell out from where ever they are, whatever they are doing...driving to a horse lesson, arriving at ballet, making dinner, playing business, riding bikes, reading a book, walking out the door to a football game, talking at the table, picking pumpkins, lounging on the couch, doing an art project, getting ready for school..."It's magic time!!!!"

It's magic time...

Because really...it is.  I don't know if they've caught the double meaning in that but to me it's more than consecutive numbers on the clock, more than math equations, more than an awesome math and science teacher.   It's a reminder 100 times a day that THIS is THE magic time.  This  moment.  This mundane thing I'm doing right now...it's the magic time.

I love magic time...

So...we're going to have a little fun with magic time...this is some seriously silly fun...so you know you have to join in! 

The person that sends me the longest list of magic time (interpret that however you want...actual moment, math, consecutive numbers or whatever other interpretation you want to make of it) either here in the comments or to davina at davinafear dot com and you will win a stop watch.  Send them in before Friday ends...this magic time is 11:59pm ET.

"What?  A stopwatch?!?"  (I heard you say that...)

"Yes.  A stopwatch."

This isn't just any stopwatch though!  This...is a magic stopwatch. 

It can time all kinds of things...not just how long it took you to do a sprint.  It can time how long it takes a person to balance a feather duster on their finger...3.45 minutes.  It can time how long it takes to drink an 8 oz. glass of milk...4.56 seconds.  It can time how long kids can entertain themselves playing businesses...2.34 hours.  It can time how long it takes for a kid to get off the bus, run down the cul de sac and bust in the front door...35.8 seconds.  It can time how long the hug lasts after busting in the door...15.6 seconds.  It can time how long it takes to pee when your bladder is going to bust...30.3 seconds (you know you've wondered).  It can time how long you can bounce a ball before it bounces out of your hands...10.01 minutes.  It can time how long you sit at dinner and listen to best and worst for the day...22.04 mintues.  It can tell you how long it takes to talk to your sister on the phone...1.23 hours.  It can time a good kiss with your lover...12.03 seconds. And...we'll stop there...

You get the idea...

See what I mean? Time. This stopwatch...it's magic...if you know how to use it...

magic. LIFE.
