Life Lesson from Algebra

"What you do to the one side must be done to the other." (Algebra 101. No partiality there.)

"What you do for the one child must be done for the other." (Parenting 101. No partiality there, either.)

Sophia has wanted a little cardboard vehicle ever since Tyler and I made a truck together. It wasn't until we had started the project that I realized the biggest pull for her wasn't to own a car but the chance to paint something. She did a fine job on the little car with its pipe cleaner axles and old flip-flop tires and is very pleased with the results.
The original boxcar.

  3. I love your creativity! We just finished SOP weekend...and for me lots of babysitting. One creative thing Lily found online was to freeze blue colored water with little animals in it and let the children hack away with table knives and find the "fossils". :)

    1. Oh, that sounds fun! Something I want to try in the winter is to freeze containers of colored water, then let the children build colorful ice sculptures in the yard. But that might have to wait a while. :)
