Trying to do this one while making lunch and keeping on eye on my curious little monkey You know him. (not George, Ben!).
I love mornings in North Carolina. It's spring but we already try to plan our day around the weather. Mornings are perfect. Afternoons heat up and evenings bring on that strange southern 20 minute thunderstorm.
This morning was a day of planting and painting. The crazy shopper I am, I purchased this huge blow up easel years ago. I think Abby was a few months old. I finally took it out of the attic today and got my workout blowing it up. That little pump is great for legs and arms!
Abby enjoyed painting the most but Ben soon joined in on the mess....I mean fun.
The best way to paint is in your bathing suit. No stress for Mom. That doesn't keep the hands from getting dirty though. Abby soon gave up the paintbrush (maybe when Ben took it) and found the fun in fingerpainting. Perfect opportunity to sing one of our favorite songs right now. "Oh, Oh, look at my hands, look at my hands, they're dirty". (Signing Time). Abby LOVES sign language and especially "saying" that her hands are dirty.
Not only did Ben help with the painting, but he also enjoyed playing in the house and helping Mommy water the small deck garden. But probably his favorite, was finally discovering the strawberry plant. Boy, is it fun to smash strawberries!
Hope you enjoyed sharing our morning with us. Lunch is almost finished! (I burnt Ben's burger a little..oops).
