Artwork Wednesday #2

The main problem with having kids spaced up to 7.5 years apart is: letting the older ones do their age-appropriate activities without letting the younger ones get themselves hurt on said activities.




OK. Technically he didn't hurt himself on the markers but he does look ridiculous and the markers are not the washable kind.

Oh, and I don't remember what he was eating when I took this picture but, apparently, it was very good.

Speaking of eating . . . another hazard of having children 7.5 years apart is the older ones teach the younger ones games.

I caught Philip playing the "Zombie Game" the other day. He was walking stiff-legged around the house saying, "Brains!"

Rugrats

Have you seen the cartoon show "Rugrats?" It's about a bunch of babies who get into adventures. The baby leader is like a MacGyver who always has the necessary tools and whatever stuffed into his diaper.

I always thought that was stupid. I've never seen a kid stuff things down into his diaper.

. . . . Until now.

I changed his diaper yesterday and found a WebKinz figurine. Thankfully, it was only a wet diaper!

Today he crawled up next to me on the couch and had the handle of one of the play kitchen spatulas sticking up out of his diaper. Apparently, that kind of hurt.

I never was a fan of the Rugrats.
