Don't you just love it when you discover you can have fun with something so simple? Amy and Elisabeth have both made themselves doll houses out of cardboard boxes and even carpeted them with leftover new carpet! A few weeks ago Elisabeth, Emily, and I used cactus fruit juice as face paint. It was so much fun!! (To see pictures, please see my mom's post.) Amy, Elisabeth, and I have great fun just riding bicycles around the neighborhood. Those are just some examples of simple little things that can be sooo much fun.

Yes, modern technology can be fun, too. Making new desktop backgrounds with PSP (thanks, HeartnSoul!!!) and designing new blog templates can be fun (and even addicting). But somehow it seems like I always feel happier and like I've had more "fun" when I do something simple. Something "real."

Tomorrow my dad is going to pick up my new bike (he had a bike shop order one). I am soooo excited. Amy's and my bikes were way too small, so few weeks ago he bought a pink cruiser for Amy, my mom, and me to share. However, he said if I was interested enough he would buy me one, too. So, tomorrow my waiting will finally be over and Amy and I won't have to share anymore. LOL. Sharing isn't a bad thing. But we'll be able to ride around the neighborhood together!!!! Yippee!

Sometimes I just wish we could turn off all the electricity for a day (but keep the refrigerator running) and see what kinds of things we would find to do (or basic things we would not be able to do, like light the stove or make some toast). It might turn out great! But definitely keep the running water. LOL. Which would you rather be without? Running water or electricity?

How many simple things have you enjoyed lately? Try it. Try busying yourself with something simple and see how much fun you can have!
