The kids really enjoy making art lately. Especially Miles. He has really turned into quite the little painter. He paints every week at preschool and all last year the paintings were pretty much the same. A few lines of different colors painted here and there. Well this year he's really stepped it up a notch in the old painting department. He still paints every week but they are actually real pictures of things! I love seeing what he creates and the pile of 'art to keep' is getting a little large. In fact, I really need to start photographing some of these pieces and saving them because I want to remember them forever!! They are adorable. Last week he brought home this little number. The teachers posted this picture on Facebook of him painting a Valentine picture of his dad. For his dad and of his dad. Love it!

I also started buying canvases on sale at Michaels along with some not washable paint. Yes, I now realize this was a bad bad decision as Evie loves to get paint on everything, and who buys paint that is not washable for a 2 and 4 year old. Seriously. Anyway, we pull off the table cloth, put on some music, old rag shirts and smocks and create art. The kids really get into it. It keeps them occupied for at least 10 minutes, and we have some fun wall art to hang up.
