- this was not mud but all paint colors mixed together, love ryan!!
I have been reading a wonderful book lately and they mentioned setting up areas in your home to spark creative activities. I do not have a designated area where the kids are free to paint as their heart desires in my home, but outside I do. Once our toddler playhouse was falling to pieces I decided a few years ago that I would give them paint and have them paint the playhouse to their heart’s content. This has resulted in many hours of fun for them and for lots of kids that come over to play. I think they are surprised they are allowed to do this. But my house is not like most other homes I visit 
. It’s not that anything goes, it’s just that I like kids to be kids and I don’t mind the mess at all. So the other day I gave Ryan and Molly a pallet of paint each and told them to paint the playhouse, they started off strong and about an hour later it ended up on them, which it normally does and I love every minute of it.

During the weekdays I babysit the kids I watch they do the same things
Incredible points. Outstanding arguments. Keep up the good spirit.
So Fun! And I am the same, completely agree about not being upset by a mess! Just got to get the wife on board now! LOL
This was an ellcxeent post!!!Hmmm, like one of your other commenters, I think I do everything out in the open, no real parenting confessions, LOLAlthough I will say that while I was growing up I hated being alone, couldn’t even drive to the store for a gallon of milk for my Mom without calling one of my friends to go along with me, now…ahh now, I want that precious time alone! I love the silence when the kids are at school and my husband is at work. No TV. No radio. I ignore all phone calls UNLESS its one of the schools that the kids are at! Now I don’t want that ALL the time, but a few hours a day will do just fine;) LOL
