Artistic Adventures With Maddie & Cait

Yesterday my two younger ladies and I had a fun afternoon together painting a great big canvas for their room.  I "nakified" the baby, set out 10 pre selected colors, gave each girl a pile of paint brushes, sat down and enjoyed the mess!

It's amazing how great kids' art can be.
Kids don't worry about perfection or place unrealistic expectations on themselves.
They just like to have fun!

Have you painted with your kids lately?  
It's so fun!
Grab a gigantic canvas and go to town!


Maddie discovered she could make a circle by pushing her brush down and spinning it.  
She went crazy with her circles!  
I love how it turned out!


Maddie was really generous with her blank canvas, she let me and Cait do whatever we liked. 
 It was a big free-for-all!


Here are some of Cait's cute paintbrush marks:)


More beautiful circles!


Here's the finished product up on the wall!

And here's our little baby just a bit messy after her fun painting project:)

Little Girls in Summer Sunshine

The sun was so warm yesterday and the colors in the air were so pretty so I had the girls throw on some summer dresses and we went for a little walk.

I was thrilled when they picked these gargantuan dandelions.  The things kids do on their own often make for the best captured moments!!  Anyways, I took a few pictures that I am really happy with.

Oh Caiters and her sucky fingers...what are we gonna do with her?

"just keep loving me Mommy"

Maddie's "real smile"  I have about 7 "forced smile" pictures before I got this one by tickling her!

Maddie and Mailee get along really well when Mikayla is at a sleepover:)  Funny how the dynamics change when one little person is removed from the bunch.

Awe!  This one might need to go on a wall in their room!

So similar yet completely unique.  Amazing how God can come up with so many different designs in the same family!

Yay!  I love this one!  I love that the little seeds are flying, the girls are both blowing and that Mads put her arm around Cait!

Here is Bear "blowing" her dandelion just like she saw her sissies doing:)


I love these middle girls of mine!
