I started a drawing, our families portrait for the website, before I went to pick up the children and a friend of theirs. After getting home, a neighborhood child came to play. The girls are busy creating on the family computer. (The one for sticky fingers…although, they are supposed to wash hands first. The video card is shot and the screen wavers, causing nausea in adults, but apparently it does not affect sticky fingered children) The boys were outside ridding the yard of “Invisible Bad Guys.” Apparently, all the invisible bad guys are gone now, and I don’t see any visible ones left either. So, they have moved inside to destroy the invisible peace in the house.

BUT…..You know how it is once you start a project, a FUN project. You just don’t want to stop, even to protect the house from four foot tall defenders.

So, I have been hiding in the “Office.,” formerly dining room, and drawing. Taking breaks to yell, “Leave the furniture alone!” “The 16 year old cat IS NOT a Bad Guy.” And “We will eat when I am finished…No, I don’t know what yet.” They really aren’t too destructive. Of course, I have not been in the living room in the last 20 minutes.

The raucous sound of little super heroes is actually exciting, as well as, terrifying! Maybe I should try this more often. Well, the Fashion Fairy just came to tell me that they are rearranging the house. Let me go survey the damage before I recommend Creating with Kids About.

Wish Me Luck!
