Kids and Creativity

I am playing along today with Leigh and the Happiness Project.



Here is our sand and water table filled with dirt.  The kids got busy with shovels and buckets a few weeks ago and took some dirt from the backyard and put it in their table since we had yet to fill it with sand. 

I'm thinking the dirt retrivial project happened sometime on Daddy's watch.

Sure they are filthy when they are done playing, but that's the point of summer: Having fun!

Thankfully though, the table is ready for sand now! ;)

I figure if they're going to be slathered in sunscreen and need a bath anyway, they might as well get as dirty as possible!

I had a hard time watching my girls play in the mud the first time, but it's so worth it! Have fun washing up:) Thanks for dropping by my blog!
Oh you're a braver mom than I. My poor kiddos...so deprived. I wont let them anywhere near a sand table, let alone a MUD table. (I have laundry issues.) But I have to admit, it does look like fun. I'll show my kids your kids picture. Maybe they can live vicariously;D
DIrt sounds like great fun and mess.

At least at the table, it feels like organized play. My kids found a stop in our yard where the grass was a little thin, and now there is a huge hole and a lot of mud. That also happened on Daddy's watch.

I agree, the most important thing is having fun.

Book Review...and a Giveaway!!!

I was lucky enough to win an ARC of When the Rogue Returns  from Sabrina Jeffries herself! I couldn't wait to read it.  After reading the first book in The Duke's Men series, What the Duke Desires , I was excited to see that this next book was about Victor Cale. In  When the Rogue Returns , Victor Cale is headed to Scotland to investigate a woman, Sofie Franke.  He has his suspicions that this woman is actually Isabella, his wife who disappeared on him ten years before.  He has spent the last decade searching to bring her to justice after she stole the royal jewels and left him to behind to deal with the authorities.  Isabella Cale, now known as Sofie Franke, has built a new life for herself and her ten-year old daughter after her husband ran off with the royal jewels. Are you intrigued yet? Victor and Isa's first meeting was great! Both blame the other for the missing jewels, and both are greatly suspicious of the other's motives.  Despite their renewed feel

Enjoy the little things...

The music filled my head as I drove my car along the winding river road on that dark and snowy night.  I had just left my grandpa's wake and was headed home... alone.....  My husband had the stomach flu, we had moved into our new house the day before my grandpa passed, and I was 5 1/2 months pregnant.  The baby boy inside me kicked along with the song, as I cried and listened to the words. Mama told me when I was young Come sit beside me, my only son And listen closely to what I say. And if you do this It will help you some sunny day. Take your time... Don't live too fast, Troubles will come and they will pass. Go find a woman and you'll find love, And don't forget son, There is someone up above. I've always found comfort in songs... the words of the artists resonating with me through even my darkest times. Lynyrd Skynyrd's Simple Man is one of those songs that just happens to play on the radio at the precise moment that I need a remind

It's the most wonderful time of the year....

The countdown to Hallowe'en begins! Please note this is not the actual number of days until Hallowe'en. The picture was taken two days ago. The house is totally decorated, although I still could use a few more things ;) One of the cool new decorations I bought this year are these Halloween Pumpkin Wall Decals from Kohls.  I love them!  My structured, OCD self feels the mantle is too cluttered, but the spooky side of me just doesn't care. ;) How do you decorate for Hallowe'en?
