To keep Trenton busy a few weeks ago, I decided to cure his need for hunting with this....
...this is his "Observation Book". He picks leaves and flowers from everywhere and we tape them inside along with a small picture so he can remember where he found his treasure.
This has been running smoothly until recently when I found leaves (yet to be taped in) all over the house, car, table, bags, etc.
So, I came up with something new.
I told him we could go somewhere special and instead of picking the leaves and flowers we could take pictures of them to put in our book.
This turned out to be my super mom moment. We went to the most special, non-flower-picking place I could think of, the temple.
It was so sweet to see them loving the beautiful grounds, the flowers, the leaves, and it was fun for me being with my slightly irreverent boys. They are my treasure and these moments make me remember that there is nothing better in this world than them! They are at such a fun age and I'm so glad this moment is captured in pictures forever.
While I am quite proud of myself, this idea of really doing something adventurous and somewhat educational is a new to me. I'm much better at sitting in my lawn chair watching them run in the sprinkler. We'll have to try this more often, it was fun!!!
