Aspiring Artists

We took on a paint project yesterday. This was the "before" picture.
We had just about all of our friends here...eight total! I conned Ms. Jessie into bringing Weston and coming to help :)
The project was inspired by the book "Fancy Nancy: Aspiring Artist."
We flicked and flung paint. We used brushes and stamps. We even got a little paint on our arms and legs...
Don't worry...we all wore "disposable" clothes.
 The kids had lots of fun getting creative and messy, and they loved displaying their work on the fence for their mamas. (Thanks again to Ms. Jessie for helping me indulge in my crazy craft activities :)

 This was another project inspired by a book/movie. The kids enjoy watching "Ramona and Beezus," so we copied a part of it where they draw "the longest picture in the world"! We included all of our favorite things we did and saw over here this year, like chasing butterflies, riding the gator, painting, flying kites, jumping on the trampoline, hunting Easter eggs, and just being together.
I love these fun projects and kids!

Every kid in the state would want to be at your house, Amber, if they only knew what fun goes on there! You bring exceptional joy to every day!
