P is for Paint

My little Picasso's this morning had a great ol'time painting some $1 birdhouses. Not too much complaining when they have paintbrushes in hand, pretty colors to choose from and a clean slate.

And of course, they loved wearing daddy's t-shirts. 

Sofia is saying that the paintbrush was her mustache and goatee like daddy has...

ready to create!

We could have painted on the side porch where we normally do, but instead I just taped down some cut-up brown bags and let them sit at the breakfast nook table. They were so quiet and serious about this activity.

See how clean Sofia's side started out to be...

getting messier when she started experimenting with color mixing...

love how she is so careful not to get dirty trying to pick up the string to turn the birdhouse.

Do profiles get any cuter than this one?

or this one?

I'm going to dry out the brown paper and see if I can use some of it as matting to pictures of the girls. Will post whenever I get around to doing that though!
