Multi-Colored Fun


Even though there is chaos in the house with Kaylen being sick (see post below if you haven't already) Kelton is still managing to find fun for himself. I don't know if you remember those four color bic pens but I had completely forgotten about them until the day recently that Dakota bought one for Kelton. He is in seventh heaven that his pen has four different colors - his excitement is actually pretty cute. :) As soon as I saw the pen I was flooded with memories of my mom and of seeing them in the house while I was growing up in the 70's. To be honest, I had no idea they even still made them but I have to say, if you have kids who love to draw, invest in one. Their excitement over these "magic pens" will be hysterical, I promise.

Kelton is really into making "treasure maps" for his various adventures and he will draw different parts of the map different colors and then he will dress up in a really silly outfit and go on his flying carpet to far away places. Here is a photo I took of him yesterday. I know he explained his entire get-up to me but I can't recall it all now but I do remember laughing to myself when he spread out the scarf, climbed on board and told me a tale about flying away from the bad guys who were out to get his buried treasure. Thank goodness his secret multi-colored map was carefully hidden in the bag around his neck. :)



I'm telling you, this boy cracks me up. :)
