Being Creative

My boys have been all about creating things lately. Chance especially can take just about anything and create something cool from it! He has been obsessed with tape and paper lately! The boy can use a whole lot of tape in a very short amount of time. But I love to see him using his imagination so I try to overlook the mess he makes and the amount of tape and printer paper he uses!! 


One of his many creations was this umbrella!! Not sure how well an umbrella made of paper will hold up in the rain but he worked and worked and worked on this thing and he was very proud of it. I was pretty impressed with all the things he used to get it to look like an umbrella. Several pencils, toothpicks, pieces of paper, and lots of tape were used!


One day the boys built this fort and played in it almost the entire day. I loved seeing them work together and play without argiung. Doesn't happen very often so I tried to enjoy it and not interrupt their playing. 


Cooper sat in the kitchen floor one evening drawing this. I walked by and said, "Cooper, that's a really good person you drew.' He replied, "Well actuawwy that's Jesus walking on the water. See this is Jesus and this is the water that he's walking on. And this is the sunshine!' Sweet boy!
