Arts & Crafts

Our girls love to do crafts. You might even remember THIS little kiddo back in the day too. Painting is probably the thing these girls like to do the most, that and play with play-doh, or draw on their chalk board. Mama needs to invest in Play-doh and anything related to painting. The one good thing about painting is that it is a rainy day or a sunny day project. This mama definitely loves those kinds of projects and ones that wash out of clothes easily!! :) Thank God for washable paints! I love that my girls like to get crafty, because it is something I enjoy too. Sierra is almost constantly with some kind of pad or pen or scissors in her hands! Cutting, gluing, pasting, painting, etc. - all are common pastimes around here.

Here are the girls in all their "Arts & Crafts" glory recently...

Chyler - our little lefty :)

Sierra likes to tell me stories and have me draw them, or vice versa...draw as we tell stories. Here is one we drew recently, Sierra was telling a story about Mimi & Papa's house - Starring Mimi & Papa, their kitty Tyler, and their neighbor, Sierra's favorite friend, Ms. Ellen. :)

 Play-doh is so fun and the girls especially love this new play-doh ice cream making set that Chyler got for her birthday from Uncle Mike & Aunt Blakely! :) You can make sprinkles and all! Fun!

 

Poor Ariella, she gets to be the play-doh ice cream "taste-tester" :)

 (Don't worry, I made sure she didn't eat any!)

Brian bought these really cool Easter Egg holder plate thingys :) at the store for the girls. I can see their use for Easter eggs, but definitely find them very handy for painting with a 4 year old and a 2 year old. They work perfectly!!!

Just the right amount of paint for little girls that LOVE to paint! :)

It is going to be very interesting having a "lefty" in the house...especially with schooling. Teaching her how to write and cut are going to be tricky.

 We started out on the deck, but then I read the back of the paint box and realized that even though it is "washable paint" - it isn't good to use on or near unfinished wood...so we moved to the patio instead. :)

Sierra decided she wanted to "sponge paint" - So we tracked down an old sponge, cut it up and went to work. :)

Chyler's mess...I mean, Masterpiece. :)

Sierra continued on painting, even long after Chyler had moved on to other things.

Like washing up at the water table; because she is literally the messiest kid you will EVER meet!

 And again I say, Thank you Lord for washable paints!!!
