Peter Pan

Yesterday, we had a bunch of feathers out (The kids were making these cute little turkeys.) and they (the feathers) caught Paige's imagination.  She decided that a red feather looked like it belonged on Peter Pan's hat.  She went to her room with the feather and in about 5 minutes came out with a  colored, stapled and taped hat, followed by a sword and shield and ship.  I don't have a picture of it, but she even made a flag to go on their ship.  Jonah LOVED being Peter Pan and even insisted upon wearing his hat to QFC (where he got lots of compliments).





I love it when our children play like this.  Happy, creative and together.  I know I have said this before, but I am so thankful that we are all able to stay home and learn and have fun together.  I can't imagine us  missing  out on all of this!

What fun to watch! I have never though of feathers for some reason. Katie is loving making things and now I am adding feathers to the list of things to get. Sometimes it makes me sad Katie will miss out on things like this since she has no siblings. It is great your kiddos play so nicely together.

Just be forewarned... Feathers get EVERYWHERE!!! But they are really really fun!
As for Katie, I think that her experiences will be different than my kids, but I don't see her as "missing out". She has a wonderful family all around her. And she's such a sweet outgoing little girl. I'm pretty sure she'll make lots of friends!

I love it! Such creative kiddos. What a GREAT cute picture, of Paige and Jack both inspecting the hat on Jonah. So serious! :)
