Don't you just love watching kids use their imagination? Well, it's actually one of those great mom moments that I cherish. I love having friends and cousins come over and do things together. Some may look at this table and think..AH a mess, but for me it was HOURS of a great activity.
The other thing I did, was compiled all my random scrapbooking goodies in a tote and allow the kids to have free reign with it! They just love all the stickers, paper, etc. Finally I found something to do with all this scrapbooking stuff!
(I love her concentrated look...her tongue is sticking out!)
Okay, now this is the best kept secret out there. The reason that I could literally care less about what these kids do on my new table...because we bought a thick piece of "grandma" plastic to cover it. I got this idea from so many mom's out there and finally with my own table I went out and spent a whopping $4.00 and let me tell you I just LOVE IT! After the kids have had there fun with out me worrying about every little thing, we clean up and I wipe it off and put my decorations back on. And honestly you can't even tell it's there. Jared joked to Alayna we were going to cover our couch with the same plastic and she said, "But that wouldn't even be comfortable!" She didn't think it was even funny that some people did that...Anyways, here's to the BEST idea out there!
