How much fun is playing at home? Well, we are milking it all we can before school starts full time! (happy sad face)
First we have broken out the Lincoln Logs. It’s about time since she got these like a year ago. I finally figured them out. (you need lots of patience which I have now) (insert eyebrow raise)
They became a home for bears and doggies.
She also loves playing with her Lego’s; she has three different sets now, and they are all mixed up, but that makes if fun I suppose. Where are my PANTS?? This is the running question. Aside from Where is my HEAD?
This box makes being in the kitchen a true joy for me as I hear her PLAY and role play. Joy to my ears.
Now, it’s time to learn to sew! I bought her a MY FIRST SEWING kit about 2 years ago. It’s recommended age is 7, but I learned at 5, so no time to waste.
Threading the needle was about to put me in the looney bin (but remember, I’m full of patience now, right?) ?! AFTER THAT, we started our lesson.
stay in one line and make the stitch.
Now, she’s ready for the pillow. (She’s making it for baby).
Up and down. No poking fingers allowed, so we took our time. (another patience lesson)
Now we stuff da’ pillow.
close it up with the stitches.
Baby is so happy.
especially with the pouchy purse I made him.
This bear is loved. And she did it herself!
She ended her play with some play dough. She’s making dinner. Delishilous!
She made me the best dinner ever.
We had so much fun maximizing our home time. One thing I know is that you’re never too old to play and savor time with your kids. NEVER. As Pooh said, “Something always comes from nothing.” We had nothing planned today, and SOMETHING sure did come.
