Ok.. so remember when we were young and we could play outside all day with a stick and a bucket and mom couldn't beg us to come inside!?!? Well today I saw the glimmer of that easily entertained child in my 3 youngest.
My lil man who happens to be only 8 1/2 months old pretty much is interested in anything. I could hand him a spoon or a blankie and he will just stick it in his mouth and drool. The 2 middle children not so much. Seems they wanna fight or piss and moan about one thing or another and it takes me about 20 min to get them settled into an activity.
So tonight upon attempting for the 6th time to edit some photos I keep getting taken away from I decided it was an easy entertainment sorta night. Pulling at the last threads I had before throwing the kids in front of the TV I put an egg carton, some markers, and a pair of scissors on the table and told the girls to go crazy. You would have thought it was the coolest thing EVER!
Lil man was cranky too... so an old formula can took care of that! He beat on that sucker like a drum until he passed out.
I was super excited tonight to see that they still have that sweet innocence... Where the newest most expensive toy isn't the most important! That the simple things sometimes can be the best. Made me smile.
Oh and about that editing.... well it didn't happen. I was having too much fun watching them make our family in egg shapes!
