Budding Artists

For Christmas, we did a little painting project, but since the finished product was a gift, we couldn't post any pictures until after Christmas.  The kids had been asking to paint, and we thought some homemade wall art would be a good addition to daddy's office at work.

So, we headed to the craft store, picked out a couple of canvases and a pack of paints (getting them to agree on colors was an affair...), found old t-shirts and set up our painting station.  And after all that being patient, it was time to get to work.

careful at first...

and then paint chaos!

they thought it was pretty fun to be so messy

(until it was time to wash off, and then Ben did not like that at all)

ta-da!
