Back to Basics...focus more on the kids, with a bit of food, fashion and fun for me.







group we got two packs of water colors. I decided to just try this with C first until she got the hang of it. Then I figure I can be mostly free to help G. She did great.
Learn: Like a lot of things art is one where you give up control to let the child create. By the end her lighter colors were all black. I remember when I was in school how vigorously I'd wash my brush to avoid this. But I'm trying hard to not pass along my weird quirks.
Love: Toddlers and art is a great combination. Can't wait to try this with G!


Look: G always falls asleep on the way home from any playground. Even the ones around the corner. I pack them lunches A LOT to avoid him missing lunch. Today we met up with some friends for a playground morning, then we grabbed a bench for lunch.
Look: Today there was a little rain storm during the late afternoon. So after dinner we suited up and headed out to jump in puddles. The kids had an absolute blast. This video is only a glimpse of how much they loved splashing with their feet.
Learn: Getting messy and wet just before bathtime is the best way to do this. Chelsea's pants were covered in mud and Gavin sat down in quite a few puddles. But they had so much fun splashing about, jumping and searching for puddles. This activity was fun and the reason I bought the boots in the first place.
Love: Gavin's boots came up almost over his knees. His walk was too funny for words and his smile was the best.
