We took a walk to the playground yesterday afternoon with the neighbors. When we got there Lex and Eve immediately started filling their pockets with acorns. There were a lot of acorns at the park! When I asked why they were doing this (silly thing to ask, I know!) Lex said, “so we can make an acorn tree.” Of course! I was super proud of the kids because they walked all the way to the playground and back. Maybe we won’t need the double stroller as much this summer. Anyway, when we got home the babysitter was just arriving. Date night! The kids showed her their pockets full of acorns and I told her she’s welcome to do an art project with them if she knows of any. We came home to find that Lex had, in fact, made an acorn tree :) He said the babysitter drew the outline and then they “used all the green crayons we could find to color the leaves and all the brown crayons to color the trunk.”
