Imagination

We had a low key day today.  Poor planning on my part resulted in my working on a paper today and leaving the kids to entertain themselves.  This is what they did while I worked.  They are at a fantastic creative age.  I'd poke my head in periodically, play a few minutes with them and then let them get on with the game.

*  Played library, setting up all the books around their room and checking them out to each other.

*  Painted some boxes that were then transformed into trains

*  Pretended to make a restaurant and served their toys to each other.

*  Played cowboy and princess

*  Created a boat out of the couch and pretended to fish

*  Played camping and had a picnic lunch in their bedroom and then pretended to sleep in tents

*  Pretended to go trick-or-treating.  They insisted that I give them real candy.  I gave them carrots instead

*  Played flower and bumble bee

*  Pretended that they were mail men delivering mail all over the house.

I think it's awesome that kids learn to entertain themselves. Most of my childhood was spent playing with my younger brother and sister and pretending this or that. It was great! :) Your kids are really cute!
