Jacob and the Big Purple Crayon

This weekend was fun with chalk. I decided, while Jake was playing outside, to let him see what he could do with a piece of chalk (and I randomly picked purple, without thinking of the children's book but it worked out). He loved it. He spent probably 30-45 minutes wandering around seeing what it would write on. He was, however, very upset when I wouldn't let him use it in the house. We now have a very colorful back yard and I'm not looking forward to the rain (if it ever comes) washing it away. Boo hoo.
