Finger Painting Fun

Even as an adult I love to finger paint....but this time I let the kids do the painting. Again a thing we did last month but I have been so busy I really hadn't had much time to blog really much less upload the photos to the web. A few day's before father's day I brought the kids out to finger paint Daddy a pretty present for Father's day-he also got a PS3 so he had an AWESOME fathers day if I do say so myself. LOL. Well while they were finger painting I snapped some shots of them. Murphy was taking a nap so he kind of missed out, but later on he did spill the plate that was holding the finger paint containers all over his page...and made something quite pretty.


"Look at how pretty, just like me, huh mommy?"


"I am the artist in the family, mine looks the best!"

Here's how Murphy's turned out, honestly I think his looked the best. LOL-don't tell the others.


Close ups, or as close as I could get w/o disturbing the artists...





Such creativity, I actually MADE this finger paint. Corn Starch, water and food coloring. It's a pretty nifty trick my mom taught me as a kid. She wasn't always crazy, she actually was the best mom in the world....and really she still kind of is. She is very supportive, even though it may seem like she is condensending, but I get it from somewhere right? At least she took time to teach me things I could pass on to my children, finger paint, paper meshe', make at home play dough, ants on a log (bananas with peanut butter and rasins), snack night dinners, and much much more-as well as how to pay the bills and take care of adult tasks, she had a good idea on parenting and Brian and I are trying to keep a lot of that in our homes...but with little twists. Hey, parenting doesn't really come with a manual so it's all trial and error. Well to you and yours have a fun filled day!
