Pumpkin was sick last night so we are taking it easy today.  We didn't get up till 8 (that's REALLY late for my kiddos) and watched a lot of "Curious George" this morning (taped off PBS).  We've been on a school break this week so taken it slow today is fine. 

I could tell the children's attention spans were waning and we had already read books, watched a video and they had played downstairs.  What to do that doesn't make a mess or be too active for a potentially upset tummy.  Ah ha!  Dominoes!

I got out my bread board (turned it over to the non food side) and let the kiddos build away.  The neat part was when they were putting away....Pumpkin kept "counting, 4, 5, 7, etc".  This was driving Pickles crazy because she wasn't "doing it right".  I told him that he needed to encourage her to try so she could learn how to do it and that he could help her by modeling showing her how to do it.  So, they put away the dominoes with him leading the counting and Pumpkin echoing him. 

I love it when life leads to learning!  I fully believe that is how God intended for us to discover things.

Here are a few photos from our playtime.
