Hooray! It’s Clay Day! It’s Clay Day!

It’s funny how such simple things can bring such happiness to our family. Surrounded by a society where there’s never “enough” given to children, or done for children, or appreciated by children – I think we’re pretty lucky to be raising children who can embrace simple pleasures. Don’t get me wrong, they’re sucked up by consumerism along with the norm, but they have healthy attitudes when hearing the word, “no.” (most of the time, anyway)

So today, we’re gong to play with clay when the kids come home from school! They’ll be home in about 45 minutes, so I’m trying to tend to all my “must do’s” before they arrive. They’ve always loved playing with playdough, so using modeling clay (they’re grammy sent it to them this past weekend) is an exciting opportunity. We’re not planning “what” to make, we’re just planning to make “things.” Those are the best laid out plans in these circumstances!!
