Our Week in Pictures

Tyler LOVES the Cozy Coupe...now I am very glad I didn't get rid of it...it allows him to be out on the porch with us and I don't worry about him squeezing through the rails.




It was so nice outside this week...we had a painting free for all on the porch which ended with me having to bleach and wash the porch off where the paint leaked. These are salt paintings. You draw your picture with school glue and instead of glitter, you shake salt over it, shake off the excess and let it dry. Then take water and a drop or two of food coloring and drop a bit onto the salt and it spreads through the design. Very cool to watch....


It is Lillie's style to make her art as wet and messy as possible...but the colors on this blended so pretty! Dad, I figured you'd appreciate this...LOL. Speaking of Dad...Jackson said he wanted to make a living making art...I told him to come talk to you!


Unknown to me...Jack had tied Ty's car to a chair to "keep him safe"...
This week's Bible was about Elijah (Lillie Picked)...here's the kids drawings.


Chloe's


(She said it was Elijah and Baby Jesus and a bunny or something)
Jack's: Elijah and the bullock and some short person....






Lillie's Jezebel and Ahab



Tyler spent most of Tuesday morning trying to figure out how to sit in his toy basket....



Victory at last...and a lap around the living room.A Snail the kids captured and, with all their creativity named "Snaily"...I know...it boggles the mind where they came up with such a name.If you would like to try the art project we did...go here...


For a good recipe for fingerpaints (and a way to use those pesky baby food jars), go here.

Have a blessed Weekend!

Fun Fun Fun Til Your Momma takes the Paintbrush Away...

I'm a sucker for finding things I can make at home cheaper (and better quality) than I can buy it at the store. And this watercolor paint is no exception! It was awesome to be able to make watercolor paint that lasted a whole lot longer than those sets you buy at the store with a dab of paint in them. The colors were vibrant and we got a lot of use out of one batch and all the ingredients we have on hand. Can't beat that...the kids loved painting. It's kinda something special because I'm more of a crayon type of person...less messy. So every once in awhile I like to bust out something different for the kids to mix things up a bit...


I don't know how many pictures I have of Chloe asleep in her plate...








Have a Blessed Day!
