Raw Materials

Last night, Charlie wanted to draw on some write-on/wipe-off placemats we have. So I colored in all the states I'd lived in and visited, and then used pink to color the state I've not been to. It helped us decide where to vacation this summer. We'll shoot for Michigan or Wisconsin.



Luke is being very helpful in supplying raw materials for my SpiARTuality group. We'll be making "Fabric Paper" and we're all to bring bits and bobs to sprinkle on it. Look at the beautiful paper towels after we wipe off the placemats:



And Proud Momma just has to show off...
Our family friend, Susan, watched the boys recently so I asked Charlie to draw a picture for her thank you note. He drew the whole thing upside down. After he'd drawn himself and saw what a large circle he'd made he said, "Well...Luke must be in my tummy." :)
Here's the picture of Charlie and Susan, drawn by Charlie (4 years, 2 months):



Who knew a mother could be so proud?! ;)
Firsts can be both unbelievably terrifying and unbelievably heart-warming, can't they.

They have so much fun don't they! I love the name of your blog, NapArt. They things we try to squeeze in while they are sleeping. When they give up napping its stealing momments while they are actually playing nicely.
