Eric started his second day of painting today. He worked from 7:30 AM to 10:00 PM! We have six individually framed windows that Eric had to tape off besides that floor and ceiling. He was a trooper!! I hung out with the boys most of the day, but did help in the evening for about 5 of those hours, but much of it was running to the store to buy more supplies. We did finish tonight, so that is exciting.
One fun thing Eric did was paint the boys’ names on the wall They thought it was the best thing ever. I am not sure what they will think tomorrow when they realize it is gone.
I had some of my own painting to do – a sample work for the art lesson that the kindergarten kids in Owen’s school will do next month. I let Owen and Jack do it so I knew it was kid friendly.
Since the paint was already out, we decided we might as well get the most fun possible with it.
Owen’s masterpiece is, “A rainy day, and that’s the grass, and that is me and that is my you, Mama, holding my hand.”
Jack is big in to mixing colors and filling every tiny spot on the paper.
Jack’s masterpiece: “This is the sun, and this is the moon, and this is me when I was a tiny baby, and this is me when I was growing. And this part where I was a tiny baby, that’s you, Mama, holding me so tight.”
