picture perfect!

Yesterday my kids were driving me crazy and I decided that it was because they were bored. So I looked in my box of things to do and found some finger paints I had bought on sale for $3.00.
I taped a sheet to the kitchen floor and stripped them down to their "chonies" or for you that don't understand spanglish that is underwear. When I laid down the plate full of paint to Lincoln he wanted a brush. I told him that he could use is fingers or his toes and even his face if he wanted but he threw a fit and said "no, that's yucky. I need a brush" So much for "Finger" painting. But he still loved it. Sari on the other hand had a great time painting. She used a brush too but when it got on her hands she would wipe it off on her leg or her belly. The pictures don't show how well she painted her leg or her face but it was quite fun to watch them. I decided that i should throw Austin in the picture to show that he was there. As you can see he from his face he is loving every minute of it. that was the Best $3.00 I spent all week. Next time we are going outside and painting a sheet on the clothes line using pudding. I will have to get into that one.
