These are a few of my favorite memories our time shared 

with friends in the little township of 

Trumbull, CT.  

A house full of happy, 

easy spirited children is the life for me. 

These three dumplings belong to some awesome folks we know. 

On this specific afternoon, the kids made something out of a bunch of nothings. 

 Good ideas spread like wildflowers. 

Grace is quite the artist.  

I would love to spend an afternoon with her and a blank canvas. 

The idea started with Tess.  

Tess took a pass on playing with toys and asked to 

make something from a snack cup.  

What is a day in the life of Tommy without something Super Hero inspired?

A belt from giant lined hand writing practice strips of construction paper turned over.  

Love it!

We've had these materials in the house for a few weeks.  Ethan need the spark of interest from the fun rallies from a groups of friends to inspire his creativity.  I totally get it Ethan.  I get my inspiration from other mommies always.  ( Thanks Michelle) 

Aidan the last to be convinced that

 the play date is really a craft date.  

He jumped right in with a sleeve full of giggles.

And giggles as we all know is the most contagious sound of all.  thunderous giggles roared through the halls walls and in every room  Michelle and I dropped to our knees to pick up the craft scraps.  We do what mommies do best, try to keep order.  And our children were were being children at their best.
