~Mouse Paint~

I can't believe it's been so long since I've posted. I've been so totally consumed with doctoring up an injured horse & keeping up with everything else around here that my blog went by the wayside. But, I have missed it!! Our horse is doing so much better-he's still recovering, but his prognosis is looking much better than before-we're feeling hopeful that he'll be able to barrel race & do other gymkhana events next summer. He's so full energy & is doing all his gaits without lameness.

Anyway, Susanna & I had a lot of fun with this book, some baggies & paint. Susanna is 4.5 & is really wanting to "do school" like the older kids. The only problem is she never believes me that she's doing school. LOL This book is so sweet & each time the mouse w/ paint on his fur jumped into a puddle of paint & found it had changed colors, we mixed those colors in baggies. She had so much fun with this & I so loved watching her face-she was truly amazed. I can't believe we haven't mixed colors before. She's doing it all the time now-it's so magical for her! Don't you just love how into everything little kids are?? How new & fresh old things become when you do them with little ones?

The yellow mouse jumped into a yellow puddle...and the puddle turned green!


The blue mouse in a red puddle made purple...

I really didn't want to return this sweet book back to the library!! Does anyone else have that problem with library books sometimes??

Fun. She sure sounds like quite a sweetheart. I'm glad you're taking the time to have fun with her too.

A "problem" with library books? IT's more than a problem, it's an impossibility for our family.

I enjoyed your below post about the fair = I could sure relate to everything and especially about the week after - trying to catch up with everything. Rachel was on the drill team too. But unlike you, I haven't posted pictures yet. Better late than never is my motto in life, but now, you understand why I can't do the library!
