Fingerpainting Fun!

James is at the age where he loves to color and paint and play with play-doh - these are all things that John-Mark loves as well -to eat :) I have an extremely hard time finding a time when James can do these things when John-Mark will leave him alone - since they are basically on the same nap schedule now there is no time when John-Mark is asleep and James is awake and when I try to "distract" John-Mark he makes a bee line to his brother anytime he can. Add to that my current huge stage of pregnancy and I'm worn out! So the other day I decided maybe John-Mark could handle a little finger painting - so I strapped them both in thier high chairs and let the fun begin -

Starts off well - both very focused on their masterpieces!

James telling me how much he loves to finger paint!

Ofcourse, we had to try and eat it - "do I have paint on my face?"

"How about now?"

"Well, if brother gets to put paint on his face then I want to too!"

So, after maybe a grand total of 15, 20 minutes tops of fingerpainting fun we headed for a bath. I would have let them play longer but they go through paint like crazy and just want more and more and after about 15 minutes we're pretty much out! It really wasn't too bad to clean up and it was a fun time for them - even it was brief! Someone mentioned I should get bath paints - I've never thought of that - I think they would love that - I'll have to check in to that!

Here's my little pumpkin all clean and enjoying some raisins - a new favorite!
And this is where I found my little monkey yesterday! He climbs on EVERYTHING!! (Side note - it's that time of year for one of my favorite things - little boys in overalls!!! Love it!! John-Mark wore his first pair yesterday - I could eat him up!!
