creative numbers & gooey eyeballs....

every mom thinks her kids are creative. we just do.

almost every day, one of my boys does something that i think, 'why didn't i think of that'. this past week, after being told that the tv was to be OFF for the night, max came up with a brilliant little game. auntie Karin bought them a gooey eyeballs for Halloween. (they are as nasty as they sound but OH SO FUN!) max took a pile of sticky notes (you know the ones that children should NOT use for scratch paper!) and made a whole points system. he would then stand about 5 feet away, down the hallway and Huck his eyeball(his fake gooey one, not his really gooey one, in case you were confused). of course, jack, knowing there was any sort of competition going on, quickly got involved. it's amazing how a few sticky notes, a handful of eyeballs and a bundle of creativity can keep little ones busy for hours....
