Little Artists

Colin started at his new job in Dallas two weeks ago. Things are going really well, and he is home at 4:30 now! This is the most exciting thing ever! I am thrilled to have him home sooner, and it sure makes fixing dinner more pleasant (without a Cooper attached to my leg, asking "dup, dup" (= "up") over and over. And it's so wonderful to have some more time as a family each day. The hour or two a day makes a BIG difference. Anyway, all the people in his department have pictures framed that their children did in a hallway, so he was sent home with some paper last week. Yesterday we got out the brushes and finger paints, and let the boys get to work.

It started off pretty neat

Colin painted their hands

And they tried out every color

Cooper only tried to taste the paint once

They had so much fun

We'll have to do it again soon.

I did find paint in some interesting places afterward, including the window blinds and Cooper's armpit.
