The little things that make a big mess are so fun for kids and for us! Sean painted with the kids on Christmas day. They loved it. Now, all they want to do is paint all day long:) I think that is a job just for daddies though:)
See what Farah Beth is doing? She had more fun making the mess than our 2 year old:)
I love art and I love watching my children create. Now, if I can just be consistent in cleaning it up and storing our paint and brushes, we would have fun more often:) Have fun with your kiddos today, because they grow up way too fast. Get dirty with them, laugh hard with them, see through their eyes, eat candy and ice cream often with them, love them unconditionally at all times! I am so thankful for a husband who is faithful in all these things and so much more. I am still learning, but oh how I want to be a better mom. So I am trying to relax more and just enjoy:)

Tell Fara Beth to make me a picture! People pay good money to get a "hand" painted picture! Hope it was washable paint!

ReplyDeleteGreat words of encouragement, it was so good for me to read this today. Fun can be so much work for the mommy, but it IS worth it.

Why do your messy times look so much more orderly than mine?
ReplyDeleteIt's really sweet and encouraging Joli.
