The Reinvention of Sidewalk Chalk

July 12, 2007 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Family Fun, Keeping It Real, Minnesota Me 15 Comments


What would you have said to your daughter??

Me, I was rendered speechless,
for oh…about 10 seconds.

(For me a record.)

And then I promptly got the camera and…

well, you know.

PS. If you need us we’ll be washing up.

And washing up.

And washing up.

    That’s why I’ve not purchased this type of sidwalk chalk. Great vibrant colors. My children wouldn’t have colored themselves–it would’ve been my car.

    Great picture, she’ll love it one day! My kids have painted themselves with sidwalk chalk before, but never so creatively…you gotta give her that!

    Yeah, I would have done the same thing.
    It sure beats the baseball field sand that my daughter rubbed all over her body. (It was ‘sand lotion.’) At least this is pretty.
    You should take a picture of the bath water. šŸ™‚

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♄
