MY LITTLE PICASSO'S

It really isn't easy to find nice portrait and prints for a house. We looked around and around, and I never found anything that I really liked. I came up with the idea that maybe the kids could paint pictures and I could hang them in the house.
I had walked into someones house once and they had their children's art work laminated and up all along their walls, I always thought that to be so nice. WELL...Not after seeing what my kids can do:))))
They really had a good time...I could hear them laughing and kidding around. It was really nice to see and hear. They didn't want me to see the paintings until the finished products were completed. But...I sneaked in for some pictures for my blog;) lol

Mitchell had a game plan...Sarah wasn't quite sure...but it all came together very nicely!

Sarah painted this one...it is with water paints.

Sarah also painted this one, but with Oil paints. I figured out that using oil paints isn't really a great idea...it would of been a horrible thing if they were a lot younger though...that stuff just doesn't wash off!!

The next two paintings are Mitchell's, for the first one he says he got the idea of the tin foil from the show John And Kate Plus Eight. You can see it because the light hits it nicely:)

This is a project I would love for them to do again! I really love the way their paintings turned out and would really enjoy to have more for around the house:)

WEATHER MEN SUCK!!!

See that picture below...allll that blue? That is the color in my world..hehehe...For those of you who take the weather man by his word...and plan around them..don't...lol...because this morning...we had no clouds in the sky and the sun was out and shining:))) Nick and I even had our pancakes (with Hubbies syrup) out on the deck this morning..it was wonderful! And...while I am sitting here typing to you as fast as my hands will go, because I want to get back outside to work on my tan...I have to tell you this.....
IT IS SO WONDERFUL TO BE HOME....HEHEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEH

NB MOOSE!!

Sarah was so funny when we saw this moose...she says to be...Mamma...the people who make the signs in NB with the moose on them, they were right!! Moose ARE bigger then our cars!" lol

The picture above is of the moose after crossing in front of us...and going into the other side of the road...
...we had enough time to find my purse in the back of my car...search for my camera....AND take allll these pictures...lol

We followed behind him in case he wanted to cross...I was scared since I heard that they would charge your car..and he didn't look scared of me at all!! He kept walking up the road...and once in a while took a little looky behind him to make sure I was still there.

We got a little too close at times...and I backed off...

I am sure it was a good five minutes...and he still wouldn't move...even with me honking my horn!

So, now for those who do not believe moose really exist in NB...and you believe travelling at 133KM/H is a good idea...think twice..these guys are huge and don't budge...lol

ARTIST IN THE MAKING

Well...I have to say it isn't easy with a child home for two months in the summer...and it RAINS alllll the time:) So, what is the best choice...instead of sitting in front of a computer or TV...a CRAFT!
We were in NB and I couldn't believe the amount of rain they had gotten..and were still getting when we left last week. So I kept Sarah-Lou busy making a new bird feeder for her grandparents:) I only wish that I took a picture of the finished product (duhhh) because it turned out sooo beautiful.
Her Nana actually mentioned that she won't be hanging it outside..she doesn't want it ruined...lol

Sarah-Lou took over my moms dining room and worked very hard to complete her project, while momma kept telling her ...."take your time honey...you want to do a good job". Wink, wink ...nudge nudge..lol...I wanted her to have this project for a couple of days...lol

Sarah-Lou is such a wonderful painter...she holds her brush so steady..and the end result was wonderful:)

I think that Sarah-Lou is the happiest when she is doing crafts...she really enjoys making things:)
