Most of our mornings....

...consist of drawing with chalk while there is still shade. I bought a big box of chalk a couple of weeks ago from Wal-mart, and the kids love drawing outside on the sidewalks. We have a lot of sidewalks around our apartment building, so they will usually stay busy for awhile.

Cameron's favorite thing to draw lately are circles, but they look more like rain drops. Leah, on the other hand, likes to draw pretty elaborate scenes. This was a picture of herself in a boat with the ocean below her. The blue blob is her boat. And she stays very focused on what she is drawing at the moment.





























Here is Leah working on what she calls her "princess monster." I didn't get a shot of her finished product. But it was looking pretty scary.

Here is a spider that she drew too.

















Cameron was drawing with chalk for awhile but when I brought out the camera later, he had found two long sticks that he was calling his "swords." He also loves pretending that hangers are swords too. He usually has something in his hands throughout the day that he calls his sword. Another one of his favorite things to do outside is smash bugs. It could be ants, spiders, rolly pollies, you name it! What can I say - he is ALL boy!












































I love these mornings with my kids before the day gets too hot, and they are content to stay outside all morning.
