Z's drawing

Today was one of those days that I felt like such a slacker the moment I woke up. I kept thinking about all those things that do not get done and day after day they are put on the back burner. My first thought was I needed to wash clothes and then list came flowing through my mind. I started thinking about why they weren't getting done and I started wondering if it was because wait until school work is done. It seems every day they finish school work I end up getting wrapped up in something else. Maybe today was a good day to try something different.

While I was preparing dinner to put in the crockpot, I came up with an idea to keep them busy and it worked! Not only did I get a few things done but I was surprised to see the outcome from my almost 4 yr old.

My parents took the older girls for a walk on Sunday and Madeline came home with a caterpillar. Today was a good day to draw the little fellow and put their drawings in their nature journal. I didn't think much about it and they went to work. Zoe decided she needed to get in the act and grabbed a piece of paper and purple colored pencil. The following is her picture. I'm actually impressed with her drawing.


Just as an added comment, my fairly new crockpot (less than a year) lid fell apart. I'm hoping it can be fixed. It's too hot to try now.
