Give a girl a whiteboard or a drawing pad (oh and a birdie)…

And you have some creative thinking going on!

Tatum likes to turn everything into a teaching opportunity. Be it a podcast, a meeting for our family, or just plain play time teaching Coopy, her kids, or Rio.

Last night, she had us sit down and give our gratitude, a high/low of the day, and if we did well, (daddy vs. mommy) we got a prize! Ooooooweeee!

Rio was her partner in crime.

Later on, chillin with her little villain, Rio, she drew a graphic novel. Rio dozed off, so apparently he was not interested in her endeavor. I know for one thing, it had many children in it!

Mommy, will you play with me? (Or Daddy sometimes gets the honor). When she says play, she reallllllly means, Can I teach you something and will you be my students so I can keep you quiet!?

Notice little Rio. He had a blast going back and forth and back and forth saying

“Pretty bird!”

“Baby!”

Yes, Rio, we see you!


Tatum, you don’t need a hat to get your creative juices flowing.

Nope. You have been developing your creative juicy fruit since you were born, and I hopefully have nurtured it as God grows it!

Daddy, that hat fits you perfectly, but you really don’t need a creative hat either; God gifted you with an incredible mind already! (and a pretty cute head! (oh, and your brain grows as your head shrinks. Go figure!) HEE! LOVE YOU BOTH TO PIEEEEEECES.
