Creative Kids!

Our kids always seem to be being creative.

With language, music, craft and even sometimes the truth!
All the pictures show them making and sharing and a wonderful snapshots of those moments.
But mostly they are creativein how they continue to play with each other and their friends. Their heads are full to bursting with all sorts of imaginary friends and characters, voices and songs. As parents we would love them to be put down into words maybe contained within poems. It definitely would be useful for others to see that they have been doing something more structured or definable.

That's just not happening in our house!

Perhaps we should tape cameras to them and put up cctv to track their every move to show that at the moment they are playing games full of greek gods and egyptian myths, Harry Potter and goblins. So much of our childrens lives are structured and curtailed its really wonderful to see ours flying around the garden on broomsticks or picking out a stick every where we go on the hunt for the perfect kobesh.

When the days get you down and you despair that you have not achieved anything of merit I think its good to remember the best achievements are the ones they set for themselves and attain. And that they still have those carefree moments of childhood available everyday. And then let them go outside come sun, rain or snow!
