Cool things we've discovered







The last few days we've been trying to find fun things to do around the house. So we learned to get messy w/ out freaking out. Alexa discovered she likes to finger paint. Maybe she'll be an artist someday. When I told her it was clean up time she said, " No I'm working" boy was she working alright. By the time she was done there was paint all over her, the table and the four different colors were now one color...black. But instead of freaking out over the mess, like I usually would, I found it was more fun for both of us if we just had fun and worried about the mess later.
Second thing we've learned is fun is dress up. Alexa is completely happy if she's in any hat of Anthony's, a scarf, and her play shoes she got for Christmas. She like to walk around pretending she's going shopping. Her newest thing is that she wants a dog so she'll pretend that she's walking a dog. I wonder if it's some kind of hint.
Third thing we've discovered, during egg hunting was that nature can grow in very weird ways. There's a tree in our backyard that has grown through a fence.So there's a fence right through the middle of this tree. We thought it was pretty cool.

It's nice to be able to re-discover how fun it is to just simply play with our kids. It also looks like you guys have done a lot of walking around outside on all the land around you. Must not be a backyard in Cali.
