The temperatures around here have been a bit ridiculous lately. Playing outside is out of the question. Lingering outside is out of the question.
The boys are back to preschool; unfortunately, there are many more hours in the day to occupy. Many.
So I gave in to a messy activity. Finger painting.
I’ve been holding onto these finger paints for over a year without letting the boys play with them. I’m cruel like that.
Today… today it just seemed like it was time.
Hulk smash.
Little bro can do it, too.
Look at that explosion of creativity: the color, the texture… the anger.
“Mom? Don’t overanalyze. It’s just a finger painting.”
And here’s that smiley one.
Caught a dimple, there!
What a sweet, sweet boy.
How fun for the boys. :) Jace is SO cute! Love his little outfit too. We need to schedule some quilting time soon! :)
ADORABLE!!! All caps & exclamation marks are very appropriate!
Fun stuff! And that Jace couldn’t BE any cuter.
It just makes me laugh to look at these pictures of Jace, he is so sweet and happy. It reminds me of that picture of Jett taken in the car, with his huge smile. And Jude looks colored cooridnated.
ops, wrong spelling….cooridinated
COORDINATED I blame spell check. sure.
best time ever
You are a brave, brave lady. This activity would have required my children to be naked (which I am sure they would have preferred).
I have to give it to ya, you’re a braver mom than I. Finger painting while I know is enjoyable for all gives me nightmares.
Maybe you’ve inspired me to be a better mom and I’ll surprise and delight my children with a finger painting session tonight…or maybe not. :)
Love the pictures. Could Jace be any cuter? I think not.
Hey Jess,
Just love reading your blogs. It keeps me in touch with what is going on with the boys. Your mom does a good job of keeping me updated but it is fun for me to hear what your comments are as a mom of some very active little boys. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy it goes soooo fast.
