Trash Monsters




Since this is my first official post, I went back a couple days to our last picture taken. It was April 22nd, Earth Day. We celebrated by making "Trash Monsters". These monsters love to eat trash, so we took them for a walk around the neighborhood to find some food.


Funniest part was the way in which each "monster" found food. The red monster was intent on getting every piece of trash he could find...down to the smallest pieces even hard for 4 year old fingers to pick up. Then carefully put each piece into his mouth so he wouldn't mess up his teeth. The brown monster could have cared less about finding the littered trash most appropriate for his diet and insisted on the neighbors flowers, dog poop, and about 2 lbs of rocks until finally his mouth broke from the crazy meal. The red monster is still a part of the family so to speak and still collects trash in Parker's room. Brown monster did not make it home from the walk as he was ripped in two from excess rock.
