Emma's busy hands

We do sleep occasionally and when we do finally fall asleep, we will sleep anywhere. I am not really sure if it was really nice of Mommy to take this picture of me, but she says it is cute, so I'll let her have it. But, guess what! We are not asleep long and when we get up, we are ready to play. Mommy tries to have lots of ideas for us to play. She saves everything. Mommy likes to play with cereal boxes, milk jugs, diaper boxes, anything. Mommy really likes to play. She tries to come up with ideas with her trash so that we will play with her.

One day, I heard her say, "AHA!" and in a few minutes she put this backpack on me. It used to be an orange bag but I like to pretend I am going to school or to the store, so she made me a backpack!
Mommy calls these our Picasso glueings. She cut out shapes to make a face and gave them to us to glue. Mine is the first picture and Erin's is next to mine. Mine is a face. Erin hasn't told me what hers is yet, but I think it is beautiful, don't you?
See, boxes! I told you she saves everything. Oh, I forgot! Her very favorite thing is colored duct tape. It is pretty amazing everything that stuff can do. Erin and I already know we are princesses so Mommy made us our very own thrones but they work great for t.v. chairs too.
See my table? It is just my size. We like to do our crafts at this table. Here we made our very own little barns out of envelopes to put pictures of our farm animals in.
We sang "Old MacDonald had a Farm" and pulled the animals out of the envelope as we sang.
Erin likes to paint. I think painting is fun because it makes such a big mess. That is a lot of color in one place! Erin was painting a rock, but her legs were just as colorful when we were done. We are the best masterpiece after all, right?
This is the reason I told you that Mommy liked to play. Look what she did! She took some diaper boxes and made a playhouse for our Weebles. They had a lot of fun with this. They had 2 slides, an elevator, a chute, and a merry-go-round. Well, I am wasting good playing time. Have fun and make lots of memories!
