Being a stay at home mom is not much different than teaching. You have to plan activities ahead of time or there will be chaos. The kids are capable of having quiet time when they play on their own, but they have these long pockets of time when they are insane and need directed activities! Thank goodness for pinterest....life saving in lots of ways! But the one life lesson I learned as a mother, is DON"T PROMISE ANYTHING until you KNOW FOR SURE you can follow through. Nothing worse than the disappointment and the tears that follow. Here are some successful days:)
I found a recipe for sidewalk paint...mix cornstarch, water, and food coloring, and the result is fabulous sidewalk paint. It was crazy windy that day and Skyler wasn't a huge fan, but Sadie LOVED it. The only problem is that the wind knocked down all of the cups after a while and left a crazy rainbow mess!
One of Sadie's 'poses'. She cracks me up. I love her outfit here...so much fun dressing her!
Today's fun activity? A diaper box! They created box sculpture and used one of them as a tunnel. This literally took up at least an hour. I wish I could take credit for this one, but it was all Skyler's idea.
Picnic day! This was one of the first warm days in March. We had hit a playground and then decided to picnic outside using an old table cloth. This is what happened AFTER we finished eating...Skyler covered himself and they had a blast.
Looking like Sadie pushed him over in this one:)
We see this face a lot when he's tired, hot, sick, or bored. Here I'm thinking he was all four!
