Creativity

So we have constantly been cleaning and re-arranging the house the past 2 months. We finally decided to get rid of the kid's art table that they have had for probably 5+ years now. We put out on the sidewalk last Friday and surprisingly nobody took it.  It is the first thing we have put on the sidewalk that somebody didn't take in a couple hours. Kristy's theory is it looked to much like a kids quarantine lemonade stand. After a day, I brought it back into our drive way and Maya asked if she could paint the old art table and make it look nice. Below is a pic of what she came up with. Really fun to see the creativity of a 10 year old. And now we have been using the table in the drive way as we have our daily happy hour with our front neighbors every afternoon....Side note - This creative 10 year old didn't invite her younger sister to help with the painting project which led to quite a bit of chaos in the house, but it was still fun to see her creativity before the shouting and tears started between sisters....Hopefully, there were a couple lessons learned from this restoration project :-)

  1. The table looks fantastic! What are you doing with the chairs? Perhaps the younger sister could decorate them? Or do an entirely different project of her own?
