Finger Painting

After dinner, we got out the finger paints.  This is something that tests me a bit since I don't like messes!!  But, every once in a while you have to let boys be boys.  And its a good thing to do with grandparents too.  

Dylon was very intent on getting just the right colors.

Neither boy was sure about actually "mixing" the colors on their paper -- they tried to keep them separate.  Now where would they get an idea like that?

Dylon finally got into it and enjoyed all the mess.  He was as proud of his hands as he was his artwork.

Braden started to enjoy experimenting with the colors to see what happens when you mix them together.

Even Ma got in on the action -- the mountain range, trees, and a sunset where quite impressive.

With a boy who looks like this -- a bath was the only option!  And of course, that was almost as much fun as painting!

Of course, an overnight at Pa & Ma's wouldn't be complete without a bedtime treat.  Tonight, it was chocolate cake.  Braden loved his right down to the last lick ... yes, LICK!  He cleaned the plate with his tongue.  And for those of you that know me well, yes, I let him!  (Thanks for the picture Uncle Matt - sorry we didn't get any of you ... next time!)

A fun few days with the grandparents.  And we are heading back in one week!

Uncle Matt isn't as photogenic as you and the kids (or even Ma). Thanks, but I'm happy to remain behind the camera. It was great to capture some of these moments.
