The perfect day starts with a yummy breakfast.

 

Then, it’s time for a morning workout. The gym is sooooooo overrated. What you really want to do is jump in puddles!!!

 

LOTS of smiles!!

 

 

 

Once everyone has gotten cleaned up, it’s time to draw on giant sheets of plexiglass. Oh yes!

 

 

 

Next, do some coloring. Use every crayon in the box!

 

The perfect day is not complete without painting!

 

….and doodling. IN THE DARK!!!!

 

Lastly, make a new friend….

… and that’s how you have the perfect day!

    Dear Valerie,

    You would think that Clara would get tired of coloring EVERYTHING purple, but nope. She hasn’t.

    Love,
    Mark

    I haven’t been over here in a while. I have been over here since you changed your blog name, but not since you changed your picture. I almost thought I was at the wrong blog. You looked great before, but that picture is an amazing picture of you. Keep up the great work of inspiring us with your family crafts.
