Sidewalk Chalk...

One morning we were outside enjoying the fresh air when our neighbors came over for a visit. They've got two boys (5 years old and 2 years old) which is fun cause everybody gets along. Sidewalk chalk was out, so I grab a piece and decided to draw a castle. Next thing I know there's a whole story going on. Oliver and the neighbor boy were drawing dungeons, crocodiles, lakes, owls, and prisoners. Plus ghost in castle cause "it's a haunted castle".

This activity which usually doesn't last that long took up our whole morning. While the boys were napping Daddy grabbed the chalk and drew a BIG dragon. The Little Misters woke up and were told that some noise was heard on the driveway. They went out to check things out. They were VERY surprised to find a dragon came to storm the castle.

I love adding a little magic/ wonder/ surprise to their world. We didn't tell them how the dragon got their, who drew it or anything. Some times its just more fun to leave things to the imagination.

Thank you Daddy for the magic!
