The week in pictures

happy weekend everyone!

Creative control

With all the recent frustration and whining I thought they could use a creative outlet.  Maybe they just needed a new way to express themselves?   It started out lovely.  They actually painted on the paper.  Until they didn't...and began painting the floor and each other and the chalkboard side of the easel.  But I just went with it.  I forfeited all creative control to them.  I didn't say "No" (except when they tried to paint the kitchen cabinets...and the door).  And they were happy.  A full 20 minutes of pure bliss.  It was beautiful.  

The aftermath.  

Minus the 2 green monsters that had to be put in the bath for a complete scrub down.  
Oh, and I'm still finding green paint residue a week later.
