Filling our days

Throughout the year, at any given moment, it is not uncommon to find the kids deep in the creative making process. Table surfaces are usually covered in all sorts of supplies whether it is yarn, paper, crayons, or pencils etc. I try to keep these items easily accessible so they are free to create when they choose. However, during the summer, they spend the majority of their time outside (as it should be) and their creative energy is expressed outdoors. Now that we are approaching the end of summer, the kids have a renewed interest in the arts and crafting. I must say, it makes me smile to see them busily working side by side, yet seperate, deep in creative thought!

what a difference a few months make- she will now draw with crayons as opposed to dumping or throwing them

In a few short weeks, we will be starting our school year and once again, the tables will be covered and the kids creations will fill the house. We have a full year planned, but it will be fun and we are all looking forward to the next adventure!
