Summer Time Art

My visiting teacher gave me the cutest idea.  She told me that she buys finger paints and lets her little guy out outside and paint the vinyl fence.  When I first heard this I was like, "What?  You can't do that!  Can you do that?  I don't know... it's so unconventional!"  But after thinking about it for a while, I realized that I could definitely afford to turn my 'mommy fun gauge' up a notch or two.  So, putting my hesitations aside, I went to the store and bought some paints.
It turned out to be so much fun!




The best part of all was that the clean-up process turned out to be just as much fun as the painting itself.




Thanks Patti for the great idea.  It really helped me go against my instincts and be a fun mom for once!

How fun is that!!!! What a great mom with very artistic girls. Did all of the paint come off the fence?
