Raing day painting...

I knew this morning was supposed to be nasty and rainy and the kids would quickly get cabin fever. So after supper last night, we ran into the craft store and grabbed a couple of things for some morning painting. Once they got into it, they really enjoyed it. We ran out of things to paint (while waiting for first and second layers to dry) and I ended up grabbing some canvas' I had put back. I have to say...I love all the things that they made.

They made me laugh, talking like they were great and famous artists in their studios. They had me laughing so hard! I love when kids see the true art in things. Things don't have to be perfect, they just have to look like what your mind tells you it should. While they were painting and creating their sweet things, I asked each to help me paint a couple of small canvas' I had.

Can I just say that I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way they looked when they finished?! Partly because of the sweet hands that helped make them. When we finished, Hulk offered up the sweetest idea...he wanted to sell his artwork to help fund this adoption. He has the most compassionate heart! If you missed the post about him helping friends of ours last year with his lemonade stand, well it's worth the time to read it!

We talked a little about his idea and Bug offered some suggestions as well. Let me just say...I think their ideas are fantastic!! I hope you all like it too! I'm going to work on some things tomorrow and let you all in on it this week. I can't wait! I love that the kids want to be involved and that they are walking this journey with us.

So, stay with me...something fun is just around the corner!!
