Fingerpainting (otherwise known as wth was mommy thinking?)

Today we decided to embrace messiness and do some fingerpainting. So as not to cause too much craziness, I made some non-toxic paint by dyeing (sp???) a few things of vanilla pudding (one green, one blue) and threw in a chocolate for good measure.



We start out fairly well....notice she's already tried to taste the paint though ( I never indicated it was okay to eat by the way)



Across the way, N is working studiously...never once does she try to eat the paint. I almost felt bad for her and am still debating giving her a pudding snack later today. (K is cut off!)


Pan back over to K.....mmmm...this tastes yummy....s'ok mama...quality control


Let me just check this out here...


I like finger painting mama!


Meanwhile....here is K after I took away her "paints". Because let's face it...what 16 month old needs to eat 3 pudding snacks in one sitting?


I think it might be a while before we try finger painting again. :-)

"Painting" the new fence.

Yay!! Look at our new fence! I'm so happy to have it....no more running after the girls as they take off in different directions down the sidewalk. Steve did a great job!


I set out a bucket of water and some unused paintbrushes so the girls could paint the fence


Noelle would rather use the brush like a sucker


Kaira is mesmerized by the water
