Prior to Josie, Emma and I used to spend part of each weekend doing some type of craft activity. Let's just say, crafting is not quite the same with a toddler. Emma wanted to work on her scrapbook and I thought painting in her highchair was a safe enough activity (notice how she is dumping her cup of water into her paints). Thank goodness I remembered to put a paint smock on Josie before the festivities began!!

Don't you just love toddlerhood???
My poor kids don't get to paint very often anymore. I just cringe at the 4 words "Mama, can I paint?". I know, it's so not fair, and I did way more creative and crafty things when I had fewer kids... I guess one more thing to add to my "guilt" basket!!
Emma looks like quite a pro scrapbooking!! Great job!
And Josie, of course, is as cute as ever (paint and all!)
Love, Barb
Kim~ you never cease to amaze me with all that you do with your kiddos. I shudder at the thought of crafts.
Eureka! Perhaps if I let Kai and Chloe do messy crafts, they will stop drawing on my walls!!!!!!
I will give it a try. Keep an eye on my blog over the next few days. heh. You have inspired me once again ;)
Kai had his first day a preschool today. The drop off went well. Glory to God!

Wow...you are a GREAT mom to do all that stuff!!! It is SO HARD for me to step out of the box and let the kids make such a mess...but I KNOW they enjoy it so much!!! Anyway...it look like you had such a great time!!!

Too cute! Lyssa and Nicholas recieved painting crafts for their birthdays. We had a painting day, too. I tried to arrange it appropriately for Nora. It ended with her striped down finishing her project in the bathtub! xo, C
What a brave mom you are!!!! Looks like lots of fun! The kids love using playdough, but that has stopped recently since Katelyn thinks it's food!
Life changes when a toddler is around! We often wait for Ellie to take a nap to do some of mine and Josie-Tatum's favorite things.
Thanks for all of your prayers,
Robbie
I'm just laughing....I went through all the same things when we first came home with Sophia. It was Emmie and I for so long that I forgot what a toddler was about too! lol Now The Boy???? he is just his own species....we won't even go there! lol
Hi, I found your blog through a comment you left on the Oatsvall blog. You have a darling family. My oldest daughter (3) was wanting to paint today also and even though she does a pretty good job with it, it is my 2 year old that makes me cringe. Luckily, I was able to find another activity that took her mind from painting as I really didn't want to have to clean up that kind of mess today.
