A little something for after school...

Sometimes while the boys are at nursery/school, I like to leave a little something for them to find when they arrive home...

I do this instead of housework I might add...

For example I started making this map at 1.30pm which included, drawing in pen, watercolour, drying, painting over with a teabag to make it brown and burning the edges with a match. I then looked up, seemingly minutes later, to find it was 3pm! oops...

It's possible I got a bit carried away...

They liked it though...

The washing pile did not...

Arggghhhhhhhhhhhh! (The official pirate greeting)
It took seconds for them to be transported to the land of pirates where they searched tirelessly for buried treasure...
It is also possible that I never quite grew up...

  3. OMG how loving! What a good mom you are! In 50 years they will never remember that their T-shirt wasn't cleaned in time but I'm SURE they will remember the memories from this day! Bravo mom. Save that map in a scrapbook or something!
