soblem prolving

*My camera is still out of commission, so you'll have to imagine with me.

1. Katy and Jacob's old backpacks have been renamed - napsacks.

2. Emily and Becca are desperate to fill them with essentials (raman noodles, canned food, water bottles, baby dolls, etc.... essentials).

3. With their new found confidence in writing and an entrepreneurial spirit... they are ready to go.

Go where? To do what? Soblem Prolving.

Sometimes in all the excitement of a new adventure, it's hard to get all the word right :)

The girls decided to be "reporters" - Becca would write your problem down in her notebook and Emily would come up with a solution for you ( one that they might be able to remedy for you right away ).

For example, I needed a diaper. Becca wrote it down. Emily went to get it. You know, soblem prolving.

When Daddy got home, the girls overwhelmed him with all their enthusiasm. Thankfully, Daddy's problem was easy. He needed to go to the bathroom. Becca wrote down bathroom and Emily suggested he go use it.

Now the girls were ready to take this little business to the streets. That's right, 2 six year olds with their napsacks, paper and pencil in hand, were ready to go door to door - asking if anyone had a problem they could solve.

Their faces, their work choices, the intensity and seriousness of this business....Priceless.

Daddy talked with them about what they were doing and how that is different from what a reporter does. These girls were being consultants (harder to say than reporter).

Consultants ready to go "solbem prolving".

In the end, we allowed them (with their heavy napsacks in tow) to walk down the street about 6 houses by themselves - in the street. Oh Happy Day.

Waiting expectantly for the girls' return, their napsacks sit by their bed. I plan on having different problems for them to solve today.
