Feet & Paper Fanatics

The boys are into using paper, paper, and yet more paper these days.  They've made hundreds of paper airplanes over the past few months;  Carson has printed off numerous pictures from Disney or Starfall websites (without us knowing sometimes);  and the latest craze:  Mazes.  They have gone through all of their coloring and activity books, done every maze available to them inside those books, and have now moved on to drawing their own.  I have to admit, I love their creativity and the paper craze keeps them occupied and (mostly) quiet for more than five minutes at a time.  We do recycle and I'm trying to get them to use both sides and to decorate their planes (two favorites in one, right?), but man, have we gone through SO much paper lately.  I'm thinking a lesson on where paper comes from is needed and soon . . .

Oh, and I just thought Gavin's choice of shoes this afternoon was funny and had to take a picture of Ben's chalk covered legs & shoes.  Ben also covered one of the red camping chairs with yellow chalk.  At least he didn't waste any paper, right?

And as I write this, Carson and two neighbor boys are in the garage making their own creations with tape, scissors, and you guessed it, lots of paper!
