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!

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...

My Birthday Wish

Today is my 33rd birthday. So far I've celebrated by cleaning the kitchen, vacuuming, and washing clothes. My birthday happened to fall on a Monday - the day we set a few hours aside for me to do some of the cleaning that I just don't have time for during the work week. I love it. I get that immediate sense of accomplishment. I see results. I finished a task. Oh how that makes my heart happy!!!!! In my line of work it can be months before I can check a project off my list. All the while it nags at me and weighing me down like a ton of bricks that projects are waiting for me. Don't get me wrong, I love love love my job, but I also love that instant gratification that comes with checking something off my list. So when Mondays roll around I am happy to pick up my dust cloth or a basket of laundry....even on my birthday. I don't have any great birthday reflections for today....maybe another day. Instead I want to share my birthday wish with you dear readers. What I wan...
