How Can You Tell If You’re Having Fun?
Q:
How Can You Tell If You’re Having Fun?
A:
There’s mud involved!
Oxygen & Sunshine
Charlotte Mason talked about how important oxygen and sunshine were for a child. Today we spent the afternoon soaking up both on this glorious day that the Lord has made. I thought I would share some pictures of what we did today …
We got this idea from Family Fun Magazine’s latest issue. I took a sheet (all I had was a fitted sheet) and hung it up on a make-shift clothesline. Then DD took her watercolors and went to town. She had a lot of fun. I’m trying to teach her that art is more than just the finished work — the process is also very important and should be enjoyable.
She decided to call this “Haphazard Art”. She likes to name her paintings. The other day she made a mess with black paint and named it “Artistic Mess” … a great name, by the way. I’ll have to take a picture and upload it here.

My littlest DD decided that she wanted to get in on the action too. Of course, as of yet she has no idea how this works, so she thought she would “paint” my camera 
…
And here’s the final work of art. I think it’s pretty neat.
She’s wondering how we’ll hang it …

And we finished off the afternoon with grape fruit juice popsicles. Yum …
Now we’re enjoying our daily quiet time. It’s a good day …
Blessings!
