We did nothing?

September 21st, 2007

It’s so easy to think that we did absolutely nothing on a given day.

We ran errands this morning, and I forget how much my children learn just being out and about.  They are very social so they talk to everyone and ask questions of the merchants, etc. 

It’s B week, which I had forgotten about, however I was entertained while driving with a list of all the things we passed which began with ‘b’.  I was hoping during these letter weeks to teach letter recognition, but he’s turned it into phonics quite nicely all on his own.  I love that.  I had absolutely nothing to do with it!

When we arrived home Fuss decided he wanted to paint.  So, I sent him outside to paint.  I assumed he wanted to paint on paper.  Logical assumption, no?  I went out a few minutes later (after fixing a snack for Fuss and Bug) and Fuss had painted his sister and…..the cedar deck!!  Oh. 

I didn’t really say anything because I assumed his father would have plenty to say upon his arrival home from work.  Besides that, Fuss was so excited about his artwork.  It’s tempra after all - I’m now seriously hoping for rain.

As for his sister - I just stuck her in the kitchen sink.  No harm done and she had an absolute blast.  She grabbed some clean bowls, cups and utensils and made quite a half hour of it.

So, I’m off to bed with a newly stylized deck!

Enjoying the journey, Amanda
