Finger painting

Yesterday was rainy, so we had a wild time of finger painting indoors. How on earth do they do that with big groups of children in preschools? Two was enough for me! We had a wonderful time, though.

Jaan expresses his opinion

I guess Will's genes have taken over in this boy. How could any child of mine be opposed to getting his hands dirty?



Once Raia was done painting, I carried them and the paint straight to the bathtub. Raia needed to be cleaned up anyway, and I thought Jaan might enjoy the paint there. Sure enough! The fun continued:

(Yes, she was drinking the water and blowing bubbles in it.)



A butterfly!

So, he is my son after all? He pointed this painting out to me and said that it was a butterfly.

Loads of love....

So fun!! I wish I was there to share in the joy. Did you make the paint? I'm filing ideas for future reference. ;) We leave for camp tomorrow A.M. bright and early and I'll be gone until next Thursday. I'll be praying for you- please pray for me. It'll be interesting trying to fit in my afternoon nap... =)
Love and big fat kisses for the kiddos,
Shae

Baba Julie, I was thinking of the "Hangs!" story when I said that Jaan is taking after Will. :-)

Yes, Shae, I made the paint. I have a corn (or potato) starch recipe, but this time it was just flour and water. I am praying for you! I know all about naps at camp. . . there were always children running by screaming, "SHH! PHYLLIS IS SLEEPING."
