Making a Mess

My kids aren't the only ones that make a mess around here. I have been just as bad lately. I let them play with rice, beans, grains and a bunch of other things in big trays with cars and trucks. It kept them busy for 20 minutes (by the way, that is a LONG time for them). The old Nicole would have cringed at the mess. Or the thought of a mess. But the mommy-Nicole with two messy-dirt-loving boys that need to do things to keep busy doesn't even flinch. And the funny thing is, clean up isn't even that bad.






Hudson made ornaments with glitter glue when Cannon napped.



And then I went crazy at Lakeshore and got a ton of art stuff and learning supplies. Love that place. And then I let them play with the stickers. And make art. And plate-faces.




The mess is totally worth the fact that it keeps the boys busy for a few minutes.
