Budding Artists

Well. maybe not budding artists. They really didn't get the whole concept of coloring. They scribbled on the books, windows, sheets, pretty much anything. I tried to show them how to color in the lines, but they had little interest in it. Thank goodness for color magic markers that don't color anything, but the book. Otherwise, I would have a lot of items colored right now.
This is leeza's first coloring attempt.

This is Sasha's first attempt. We will continue to try and they will eventually get it. They are finally starting to show a little interest in being read to. They now bring me a book and stay for about half of it when I read it to them. This is a big improvement from them showing no interest at all a few days ago.

This is the one book they seem to like and it is about a busy spider(I hate spiders). It figures, they like Barney on TV and books on spiders!

I think she looks like she is just hanging out having a little drink!

We have been looking for a good park to play at. This one has very little equipment, but the swings are small enough for the girls to enjoy. They didn't like the slide as it was open on top and had nothing to hang on when they start down. They spent most of the time in the swings watching traffic go by. they are fanscinated by vehicles. This park is in Downtown Mt Zion so there were tractors, cars, motorcycles, bikes etc going by. They really watched the girls riding their bikes past the park with a lot of interest.

It was colder today so we went to the mall to use the indoor play equipment there. It is about the right size for them. They had a lot of fun.
