Malachi loves our new grass and sticks. The other kids love chalk.
I just sat in my beach chair while Solomon hung out in his stroller and we watched the kids play.
Our neighbor is from India. There is a bit of a language barrier but we try and communicate here and there. She just took Solomon out of my arms this day. It made me happy, I felt like there was finally a little more of a comfort level there for her. She and the others that live there are a little stand-off-ish normally.
We put the chalk away and brought out the riding toys.
Mali Su hurt her toe and Solomon fell asleep on my shoulder so we headed inside.
We hydrated and colored.
I put some tunes on and danced and sang. The kids found it quite funny. Malachi mimicked me. I loved his "microphone" that he was doing like me.
Look at these budding artists! Aimi Lark drew Rapunzel's long hair and Delaney wrote a nice long note on the back of that pretty picture.
An exercise ball for a chair, nice one Aimi Lark.
Look at Joby's garage for his monster truck! I fed the kids "candy" cereal for dinner. I won some "cool" mom points for that one.
So that's what it is like around here when I have the kids to myself for the night.
You're amazing! I love their pictures and you're a rockstar for taking them outside to play in the heat. I think surviving is the first law of child-raising and candy cereal is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI love that you have all these ideas for ways to keep everyone entertained....drawing outside with sidewalk chalk, riding bikes, coloring- they look like the happiest kiddos on earth!
