What was I thinking?

because in order to get this:


you need this:


which leads to this:


and when that gets old....


another blank canvas is used:



I think you missed a spot Sam.



So what was running through my head as this scene unfolded a mere 12 inches from my light beige carpet?

Now I remember why we don't do this very often.
How sad that my kids only paint a few times a year.
This was so worth the hassle of cleaning up.
I hope Sam remembers that we did this.
I hope this paint doesn't stain their skin like the green marker did on Julia's face last week.
I'm sooo glad that Brian called to say he was on his way so I would soon have a second pair of hands to get the kids in the tub.


Amazingly we made it to this:

without getting a drop on the carpet or any left on their skin.

  1. Great job on not letting the "mess" ruin the success! The process of painting is so fun for kids..and I can tell Sam and Julia had a blast!
    I've seen Isaac in the same position many a time :) Washable paint and bathtubs.....that's the solution!

    See you tomorrow!

  2. Going through all that work and mess was worth the great photos you got, alone! But, to boot, your kids had a blast...and a chance at major artistic expression...and you also get to keep (or, photograph) their final product(s) and had something fun to kill a bunch of time with!

  3. Totally lovin' Julia's robe! Ethny also loves hers, even though it is a Thomas the Train hand me down from big brother.

  4. All that painting and no paint on the carpet--that is impressive.

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Elsa's Birth Story

The morning of July 1st started out like all the other mornings this summer. The kids let me sleep until 7:30 and then came in to wake me up. We ate breakfast and I started picking up around the house. We had spent the previous day at the town pool and because the heat index was going to be just as high again we made plans to go to our beach. The kids really wanted to practice their swimming skills but I didn't want to have to pay for the pool again. At 8:30 I lost my mucus plug and my brain started running a mile a minute. Could this mean we're getting close? Could I actually go early for a change?I turned to Google and learned that labor could be hours or days away. I feel I should warn you - if you decide to Google mucus plug be prepared to see photographic proof. Why people felt the need to post pictures to Google images is beyond me!  Moving on..... Just in case I ended up being one of the lucky ones who only had hours to wait until labor started I kept up with my clean

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start thinking about changing over our closets from Winter to Spring. I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses ! It's a whole new ballgame for me now that I'm going to have TWO girls to dress. In the end I decided to pick this beauty called Azure Coast to giveaway to one lucky reader because us mom's are always buying things for our kids before ourselves. I just might have to pick up one for myself in time to wear for BabyBear's baptism this summer. It's perfect for nursing moms! Want to win one for yourself? See below , but if you d
