It is simply amazing how creative children are when you eliminate all electronic distractions from them. We don't give our children unlimited time playing computer or watching movies but even a little bit of entertainment seems to drain all creativity from their bodies. So, commence very, very limited electronic time and watch the transformation begin in your child! As each day passes they become more content, less whining, less squabbles and more interesting play and conversations!
Tristan of course has to incorporate numbers if it all possible so he has spent almost the entire day so far doing dot-to-dots.
Give Heidi a scissors and a piece of paper and she will be occupied for a very long time!
Taking a break from paper airplane making to eat a grilled cheese.
They of course have to destroy their sandwiches before eating them. So far today Judah has helped eliminate a hand full of chipmunks from our yard and gardens. Apparently I owe him money now for his good deed of the day.
Naomi is oblivious to all the noise and confusion! If only I could tune out all the commotion and go about my day without noticing the mess everywhere!
Just a few of the paper airplanes that have been made and now litter the yard. Such fun!
What is your Saturday looking like?

I had just 2 boys here for a few hours today so their mommy could pack for the beach more freely!
They helped plant a tree, picked tea from the garden, checked out a bird nest, ...and the oldest watched "Wind in the Willows" while his brother took a nap. Love them!
This eve. AL & I went to visit Nora Weaver.
Looking forward to seeing you and your gang SOON!
Love,
Ada
