My inspiration for the day stemmed from me feeling like I haven't done much for the girls lately. I felt as if I hadn't been giving them the adequate attention they more than deserve. I'm constantly looking for ideas on Pinterest to keep them busy. Half the time the things I try either a:fail or b:last a whopping 30 seconds to one minute. I will say that I have found some activities that work and work well. I repeat those without trying to over do it. I was going to do a water activity but it was too chilly for that this morning. Today I just went with the flow of the mood and used the girls' signals of bordem to find something to do. (Warning-lots of pictures today!)
For instance-we painted the side walk. Corn starch plus water and food coloring:
Gives you a much more fun way to be creative. Also, science meets art. Corn starch with water can be a solid and liquid...and making new colors.
And the best part-it stays outside, dries brighter than normal chalk, and is easy, cheap and fun!
After this the girls just ran laps and before I knew it, it was time for lunch and naps.
Iz did this this morning, and I didn't know how else to add it other than at nap time. She is creative. Only she would use an apple in a crazy way.
I got a ton of silly (ok not a ton but a lot) faces Henry made while doing tummy time. He is really starting to get the hang of it!
He also had several faces in his bumbo while watching his sisters on the deck:
I tried to teach the girls how to play kick ball-in a sense. They just liked throwing them up-as high as they could (easier for Isabelle than Viola).
Getting the up picture is much harder!
I know, I know. The ball is huge in comparison to her body!
The outside fun ended with running cat laps and chasing each other:
And one stubbed toe. You would have thought Iz was dying by her reaction. No worries though-she was up and running in the dirt five minutes later!
Hoping tomorrow is warmer-I want to play with water balloons. I mean-the girls want to! Haha :-)
Until tomorrow!
