Today was a pretty long day, for all of us. So, of course I thought, kids in bed by 8:30, me by 9 all is good. That is until we go outside and the weather is so amazing and we start doing sidewalk chalk. Somewhere we got an idea to draw a hot air balloon and it turned out pretty well, so I have to share it. The pictures do make it look a little gargantuan, and while it is large I think :objects in picture appear larger than in reality.


The kids had a lot of fun, Jonathan drew a rocket and a balloon underneath it and Abbey drew a balloon also. They both helped color in the big balloon. I am curious to see what it looks like in daylight. We think the colors are white, blue and pink...we shall see tomorrow. Some of the white looks a little yellow.

After the art session we did a little wading around in whatever liquid was causing a stream at the end of the driveway. Mollie was having fun until she fell into the stream, then she was ready to go inside, so we did. Seriously, I can not get her to do this for anyone else.
