Artists at Work

It's amazing how kids can be "re-introduced" to their toys. We like to keep their toys on rotation, partly because they have SO MANY that we can't store them all in one place, but also because it keeps them fresh. So we keep some in the play room, in the basement, in a closet, etc. Every once in awhile, we'll bring out a "new" toy and it's all they want to play with for the next few days. This is what happened yesterday...

My sister bought this easel for Aiden a few years ago and he never really got any use out of it since he wasn't too into art at the time, he was much more interested in cars. Since he's been in school, however, usually what he wants to do is color and draw. So, while bringing toys downstairs, Jacob spotted the easel and decided to bring it up. Little did we know how much Aiden (and Ava!) would love it! Here's a few shots at their very artistic afternoon...

 

Other than the fact that Ava is using the easel to lay on, or that she's throwing crayons at Aiden in the video... you've gotta love those giggles! Enjoy!
