With all the cold weather we have been having, we end up spending the majority of our days inside. We had a bit of a break from our usual TV watching for 2 days as punishment for a rough, rowdy bedtime a few nights back. That means we had to keep busy with other things during the hour we usually watch a bit of PBS.
Thanks to Uncle Chris for bring us a BIG pack of construction paper! We have a whole fleet of paper airplanes to zoom down the hall. Because I decided to just let them at it, keep the paper out where they can reach it and not ration it out like I usually do, Jonathan has gone hog-wild drawing. A while back he went on a drawing binge and filled up our door with machine pictures:
His new subject is bioluminescent fish. Yes, he can say it and even knows what it means, thanks to a book we have on ocean life and "Finding Nemo". He even "taught" the word to his preschool teachers the other day when he was drawing in class and wanted them to write down what his picture was. So now there is a big stack of fish drawings on the table, some have been made into books with stories (LOVE these!), some are designated to give to friends, and some will end up in an envelope to Grandma for her birthday later this month. Here are a few samples:
I just love the creative mind of a four and a half year old!
Not to be outdone, Sarah has been busy with paints herself. A messy mess ensues but she has a great time!
