Chalk it up

Did you ever feel like you wanted to jump into a chalk drawing- you know, like Mary Poppins- which we watched not so long ago! Okay, I really haven't either.

 The reason I mention it though is because I sent two of my kiddos ( 4 & 7) outside to get some fresh air with a bag of sidewalk chalk. About 45 minutes later I was surprised to find this rather detailed chalk drawing - maybe springtime is on it's way!  I'm pretty sure my son drew most of it and my daughter "supervised" and added a tornado (who doesn't like a tornado). I couldn't help but post the pic cause I was so impressed. Don't chalk drawings and lemonade stands go hand in hand? Well, here's a song while you ponder that thought.


To go along with this chalk theme, I gathered a few ideas for chalk. Okay, I know it's not quite the season yet, but you can file it away for a sunny day.  Here you go!
