Hanging Out at Home

We've been pretty much stuck at home for about a week now doing some serious potty training. The kiddos are doing well; I'm not sure the concept has 100% clicked in their heads, but we're doing well enough to forge forward. One morning last week it stopped raining (briefly), but the yard was still too soggy to play, so we took our paints out on the deck for some fun.

I should note that it was not a good idea to dress Colin in a brand-new, first-time-wearing, white t-shirt to paint in. Brilliant, Mommy, brilliant. The shirt is STILL in the wash.


They got really into this activity and spent at least half an hour with the paint brushes.


Gillian likes to layer her paints and really lay the colors on thick!


You can see, Colin got some paint on himself!


This was our masterpiece!

Colin made that lovely vision by the red paint cup and told me it was a peacock. Gillian made the large green mass on the right of the picture. I'm don't think she told me what it was. Grass for sheep maybe?

Anyway, that's our potty training entertainment!
