Little Idea...Big Fun


Sometimes it’s the little things…..like today. My niece is spending the week with us and I’m trying to fill the week with adventures without spending a lot. Yesterday’s adventure was going up to the hubby’s classroom for lunch and some Angry Birds on the Smart Board; followed by a short visit with the kids’ Gigi! Today, I felt like staying home, so I broke out the watercolors. Yeah, I know - watercolors, big whoop, right? But, of course, we had to do more than just watercolors.  Last week, we made a quick stop by the Dollar Store and picked up some poster board ($.50 each) and today I let the kids get creative.  They each got right to work on their masterpieces. I don’t think I’ve ever heard them so quiet!  I know it’s a simple idea and honestly, I feel a little silly taking the time to post this. But sometimes it’s those little ideas that are loved the most.
