A New Box

I have always loved getting a new box of crayons or pencils(the already sharpened pencils). I felt I colored brighter, stayed in the lines easier, was more creative and wrote much better when using a nicely sharpened pencil or a fresh, never-been-used crayon. I believe my children are much the same way. On Memorial Day we went to Hobby Lobby to find some frames for the kids' art work which were on sale (wooo-hoo!!!!). I had a coupon for that day only on anything that was not already on sale. I found a box of 52 pcs Sidewalk Chalk and used my coupon for that. For that day and much of the next afternoon, the kids let their creative juices flow. Especially MG.

I love this little girl! And the one that MG drew, too! :) Her heart makes me smile, and when I see all of the chalky footprints around it, I laugh out loud. The rectangle of our sidewalk was done by all three of the kids.

snicker, snicker!

MG added to her heart after her
little neighbor friend shared from her 5 yo sense of humor.
