Painting with our FINGERS!!!

I've been having quite a bit of fun with my little preschoolers recently.  These two crack. me. up!!  They are quite the pair.  I have to admit for a LONG time, I felt like things were so hectic at my house with two babies, then toddlers, that I didn't spend much time doing fun activities.  Most of my time was spent taking care of a crying baby.  Any EXTRA activity just seemed exhausting.  BUT NOW things are getting FUN!!!  Z and Meg are both old enough to enjoy these types of activities and things are getting fun.  :)

TODAY, we used masking tape to make their first initial on a canvas.  Then we let the finger painting begin.  After drying we will pull off the masking tape and have some serious works of art! :)

Here are my two master painters ready with aprons!

What REALLY happens in the morning!

Mornings can be pretty crazy around here.  we are getting breakfast, packing lunches, getting dressed, etc.  AND for Z-man throwing away his pull-up from the night.  Now, normally the pull-up gets thrown in the garbage.. today, however, it got thrown somewhere else...  Let's play eye spy and see who can find the missing pull-up....

Yes, that is right.  Z thought it would be fun to throw his pull up down the stairs and instead landed it in the LOVELY chandelier ...... NICE.  I must add that this chandelier is 2 stories up and we can't even touch it.  AGAIN,  NICE!!!  So we are going to try to start a fashion trend.

I would like to add that after a few moments of great broom maneuvering, I was able to reach and extract the added decoration and put it in the trash.  Phew.  :)  Thank you Z-man for the extra fun this morning.  :)

Playin' a little UNO!

Something REALLY cool happened yesterday.  Are you ready?  We played a game of UNO with EVERYONE in our family.  yep that's right.  nobody was trying to eat the cards, steal the cards, ruin someone else's cards.  We actually did it.  Z and D were on a team,  Meg and I were on a team and J and Lo held their own.  :)  It was REALLY FUN!  I can see the light.  :)

I just thought I'd document my excitement over a  wonderful game of uno.  (sorry, not pictures, but trust me.  it was FUN!)
