Well the big girls are at school, so now I get to give my little ones some attention! Infact, I am going to teach a little preschool to Luke this year. (Of course Annika also) For now I just want to spend time with them. So we decided to break out the paints. My kids all love art, I could not believe that a 1 yr old and 3 yr old could paint for that long. They literally painted for about an hour. I was able to get all kinds of house work done.
After mixing all the colors together, and they were all Black....she decided it was just as easy to just use her finger. She mostley painted, but she did do some tasting as well. It must not have been to good, since she kept the tasting to a minimal!
Then they wanted to play with water outside, well it was about 65, so i thought it was a tad to cold. As typical 1 and 3 yr olds they did not understand "NO", so I brought in 2 big buckets, and filled them about 5 inches with warm water. They gathered some toys, and tupperware and there they played for another hour. I loved it. I am telling you this will be a regular this winter. I could see them and clean all at the same time! Loved it! Try it!

Thats nice they can entertain themselves for so long. The boys I babysit have the shortest attention span. It takes quite the effort to encourage them to find ways to entertain themselves sometimes :)
