Bowling

My children never cease to amaze me with their creativity. If you followed my blog in its infancy you'll remember many examples of this. This creativity never shown through more than when we lived in Jerusalem. We were restricted about how much we could do outside of our home and we had no one to socialize with, so we had to think of ways to keep ourselves entertained. It was especially bad when we had first moved because we didn't have any of our belongings yet. I remember one day when I heard my then 3 year old son squeal with delight after he had found a rubber band on the floor. He was so excited to have a TOY to play with! One day, after twiddling our thumbs became boring, my kids came up with a makeshift game of bowling. They used some empty water bottles for the pins, and since we didn't have a ball, we squished up a piece of aluminum foil into a sphere. We had fun with this for hours....


I was reminded of this yesterday when my children brought me outside to look at their new game....


We now have plenty of toys and plenty of friends, but they still love making up their own entertainment. I love this about them :o)
