Still Trying To Be Messy

I am still struggling with trying to allow a creative mess.  I can see looking back through my photos that I am getting even more clean freaky with our projects. Mess= fun.  I do not want to lack fun or creativity, I hope I am not missing that!  Maybe it is that the kids I have now are younger?  I don't know. 

So here is a prayer I need you to pray for me, that I will be able to relax and let the kids be creative and messy.  It allows them good manipulative experiences, and creative expression, too.  I don't want to always run their art projects to be able to keep things pristine.  (Well, I DO, but that is what I need to work on!)  There is a great blog over on my blog list to the right-Pre-School Play and I look at the messy fun those kids are having and I really want to make it a point to add some of that to our weeks.  It is very hard for me.  Will you pray for organized mess?  I don't think any prayer is a silly request.  I rely on God for everything.

Aaaaaahhh!! Look how good she was- the kids know that when they have painted hands they need to raise them up and follow me to the bathroom for a good washing.  That's our niece, I sure miss having her around here! 

If you haven't seen the song for today- it's so good!  It's called Marry You by Bruno Mars, and the song was used in a fantastic marriage proposal that I have been watching for about a week..  It makes me smile. I love that we can watch her expression- priceless. ♫
