What She Does When She’s Bored

Boonies, My Precious Darlings, The Country Garden

She’s bored! Bored bored bored! Nothing to do. In spite of the 200 satellite TV channels, Nintendo DS, computer, 5000 cats, two dogs, and acres of woods and streams.

Bored!!!

So she painted her face. Then she painted her jeans. Her new jeans. With permanent markers.

She’s not bored anymore, ha!

We planted: green beans, carrots, spinach, onions, corn, squash, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, and assorted herbs and flowers.

You?

I love spring! :purr:

    My 5yo is bored too. He came home from playing with the neighbor girl. “Hi Mom! I apparently didn’t have a good time!”

    Must hide the picture of your daughter’s face art from him.

    Yeah, I’m with the mommies who were hoping it was a phase they’d get over. *sigh*
