crafting!

the last few days we have found ourselves doing a lot of crafts. most outcomes look about like this (see picture above). but the best things in life (or raising small children) are (always) messy so the boys and i are counting them as a complete success! we live in somewhat of a forest and one of our giant trees fell down in our backyard, we are painting on wood from the tree, it worked awesome. 

buuut sometimes when charles and george are napping, henry and i pull out the big guns and paint tigers, pandas and ladybugs. henry was so proud of his tiger. he named him daniel. so we now have daniel tiger in our playroom. 

when we were all outside painting, of course darcy and lizzy showed up. our goats. they started licking all the paint, stepping in it, tracking it on the tiles, tormenting george etc,. henry immediately strated whacking them with his paint brush so that everyone and everything was in complete paint chaos. we quickly pinned up the goats, put away the paint and got the hose out. we gave everything a good spray down. the boys may have liked this part more than the actual painting!

so cheers to brazil where everyday we have perfect weather for outdoor paint chaos (crafts)!
