A very brave friend decided to have an art play date at her house with free form painting. She invited not only us but several other toddler friends, did I mention she was very brave? Supplying the kids with brushes, rollers, trays, sponges, buckets of water, tons of paint and a giant canvas....the kids went crazy. It took the girls (left to right: fiona, daphne, stella) some time to get comfortable with the idea that making a giant mess and painting whatever they wanted was okay, but once they did - they sure embraced it. Their favorite discovery was the bucket of water. Intended for washing off various painting utensils, the girls instead took to painting the water various colors until it turned into that lovely preschool brown. Of course all three of them tried to fit into the bucket at once, but it only held two so they all took turns standing in the bucket.
Due to some poor planning on my part, we had to drive home mostly naked but overall we had a fantastic time. No word on how our friend's garage and driveway fared just yet.
This also marked the first time Brant or I have ever given the girls a group bath by ourselves. Trust me, it wasn't planned but my options were to do a solo bath time or repaint every wall in our house - these girls were covered from head to toe!
It was awesome. I'm so glad you all came. No I haven't even tried to get the paint off the driveway yet. My husband says it looks like a unicorn puked all over the driveway!
