Riley loves to do mail and play post office. Today he had the fun idea to make mailboxes for everyone in our house and hang them by their doors. So we took some old Kleenex boxes, covered them with foam, added red flags with brads and decorated them up. We have all had a great time sending mail to each other - and to make it even better we are writing them out like real envelopes using our full names (not addresses yet) so Riley is getting a lot of practice writing his last name. I drew over the last names in the photos so they are a bit odd looking, but you'll get the idea. Cabot had fun too - mostly dumping out foam stickers all over the living room. (=

I made an outdoor background for each kiddo to paint as they wished. Riley decided to paint a Roller Coaster - he loves roller coasters! Cabot created an impressionistic painting that could be interpreted in many different ways: maybe it's birds? or kites flying? What it IS is his first painting! FUN! (=
