Yesterday we tried beating the Portland winter blues by having some friends over for a painting day. Actually, originally we thought it was going to be a celebration of summer and had plan some messy outside painting fun. Sadly it was 56* and rainy, so I woke up at 3 am worried about what to do. Could I roll up the rug and move the furniture? Could I just plan some non-messy indoor crafts? I laid in my bed until 4 am fretting when Eureka! We have a covered deck that still needs to be stained for the summer so painting could be there, and a couple indoor crafts could be done inside. I was so awake by then I just got up.
Skyler got really into painting.  |  |
L pretty much was just interested in the novel squirt bottle.
 |  |
See L continued to just squirt, while Tyler painted.  | Tyler did a great job and got really into his art. |
Tyler even learned how to blow paint from a straw.  |  |
While L learned the art of sharing. | So that Ella could also learn the joy of squirting |
Ella put on some "war paint." |  |
While Skyler looked on amused. L was probably off somewhere still squirting. | And Jessica rocked baby Ginny.  |
