One of my favorite things to do w/ my kids is paint! We've done it since they were old enough to hold a paintbrush. It's so special to see their thoughts come out on a canvas (& they're pretty cheap).
We paint the backgrounds...
Draw in our ideas...
& fill in w/ paint...
This is Holt's ocean scene...
Adly's sunset above the ocean.
I'm glad I took pics of them b/c they gave them both to my sister!
The garden went in!!! I have to confess, since my sister was there, that my dad did pretty much the entire thing. I told him where I wanted things and he advised, dug and planted all but two plants! Holt helped a lot and Adly helped where she could too. They love it and so do I! I think my dad does too.
Took a couple breaks to play w/ babies!
Ren was a good helper...he swept the grass...
& spread some dirt.
Rex tried to help a little too, but he really just wanted his Pappy to hold him!
Seed planting...
& Freddie just chilled.
Here it is, very young and full of promise. I added 2 more plants today. I've always wanted to grow an heirloom tomato.
Holt decided to convert his "digging" area into a garden b/c last year his bok choy went nuts. See it there beside him? That's last years! We just had it in an Asian dish the other night and it was good!
He's growing carrots, watermelon & pumpkin this year. Wish him luck!
We watered & labeled them too.
Two great loves!
Hope your Spring Break was fun! Back to the grind...
