The pool is open, the sun is shining and the easels are back for the season - the boys couldn't be happier! Yesterday, we washed all of our paint pots and re-filled them, then made our way into "Kid Town" for a little creative painting. It was cute watching them standing there, quietly selecting their colors and swirling it onto the paper.
As I watched them, I was remembering last summer, when I had to stand beside them while they painted. It was all I could do to prevent them from smearing paint on their faces, or running off with the brush and painting graffiti on the side of the house. :) Last year, our painting activities lasted 15 minutes at the max. I can see how much they've grown.
Yesterday, they spent a good chunk of time painting. Sometimes, stopping to take a quick run down the slide before returning to their picture. Calling out to me as I worked in the garden, "Mom! Come look at what I did!" My sweet little artists. Summer is here at last!!!

Reminds me of Picasso's "Blue Period". They seem to have a gift.
I agree, you should have them framed..definitely masterpieces!
