Your kids rock. You are doing a great job. They are very creative and their minds are fireworks of ideas. They are well-rounded and have good experiences, which I think is a one of the most important factors for a developing a creative mind. In my opinion, being creative is a holistic feeling of self-expression. In my experience, all of the factors, from seeing my brother’s art, to TV, music, to writing, to interacting with non-creative people, all helped to develop my own sense of creativity. Practice is also helpful (but only part of it). For every “imagination” story Molly tells, I tell her 20. For every 20 that I tell, I have heard/read 100 from others. Anyway, sometimes it is just the kids that make their own path. All we can do is scream and yell to get back before dark.

That is an AWESOME idea. It is now added to my Tips and Trciks in my brain permanently.

We learned quickly not to tell my grandmother ‘I’m bored’ when we stayed with her in the summers, because that was a surefire way to get assigned a bunch of chores to stave off the boredom — anything from taking out the garbage to weeding the entire back driveway.
