I Wonder....

It always amazes me when you turn off the T.V., computer, video games, and even put the books away what the children will come up with.  I am a big believer in sending children outside to play and pass time, especially when the phrase, "I"m bored" comes out. 

Going outside is not a problem for my children though, they love it outside and usually can't wait to get out.  So while we were working on the chicken coop, the children were working on a project all their own.

They took a lot of time to make this animal shelter.  I had to make a sign so the animals knew that they were welcome anytime.  The creativity and imagination that is always working in the minds of young children always amazes me.  When I look at empty margarine containers I see recycling, the children see doors and tables.  When I see torn off kite tails I see garbage but they see flags.  Old sticks?  Throw them in the furnace to clean things up but they see bridges, roads, walls and more. 

They are so proud of their little animal house and can't wait to find out what animal is going to choose to live in it!
