Creativity

I pray everyday for creativity. Creativity in discipline, activities, and meals. The past two days I have seen lots of creative ideas for activities.

Here's two super-fabulous ones:

First, outside dinner:



This was great b/c it was beautiful and here in the Northwest we have seen nothing but rain and crazy weather. Nothing like dinner outside. My mom bought this little table for Lily's b-day and it has already been a fantastic purchase.


Two, snack at the McDonald's Drive thru for $2:

Clean-up was even more fun

I needed a diet coke and a break. So what a better way to get one, then putting the kids in the car and going through the drive-thru. I ordered one hot fudge sundae and a diet coke. We got home, I divided them up, and topped them off with sprinkles. Oh, the silence as they devoured it. This is heaven moms. And it works great if you have a young one trying to learn how to use a spoon.


One sub-fabulous, creative idea:

Story Time at the Library.

Hmmm..Well we met my friend Jodi there with her kids. Let's just say that Eloise might not be ready to sit still for story time. She was distracting Jack with her kisses, "head hugs", and attempts to do a summersault. I had this nice woman next to me let me know that this was the first time she has brought her daughter back in 6 months b/c she wouldn't sit still and she was mortified. She was very kind and let me know that it wasn't bothering her one bit. Jodi was very affirming of this as well. We'll work on this one.
