Art Day

Thursday it was declared, "Today and every Thursday from this day forward we shall commence with and participate in Art Day." I had high hopes for flowing creative juices and amazing end results. Quite an ambitious outlook for 3 energetic boys who have a tendency NOT to stay still, or at least seem to be wrestling every other second.

I gathered the rocks, paints, paper and paintbrushes and summoned the masses.

They were very excited, especially Will to be "painting". Two year olds and paint are, not surprisingly, a messy combination. Every time I left the scene to gather supplies or paper towels I returned to a new spot that Will had painted. "I paint house." "I paint hat." I paint Ben."

The End results may not be museum worthy, but they will look colorful in the garden.
