I love that this is their life! It is the perfect way to celebrate the arrival of autumn and the beautiful breezes and smells it brings! (Although today felt like summer.)
Blane knocked my socks off when I came outside and saw him dipping a tennis ball in paint and then throwing it onto the surfboard. It produced some super cool results! And then he squirted paint globs on the surfboard and tried to hit his targets with the ball.
Then, our house painter accidentally stepped on a painting I was working on that I left on the floor. As he apologized profusely, all I could think of was how cool the design from his shoe looked in the wet paint and ran up to find as many old shoes as I could to paint with.
A trip to Goodwill is in my near future to get more old shoes with fantastic patterns--they are super cool stamps that make great textures!
Even Nora couldn't resist getting messy this week this paint:) She loves to play in the art room while we are all painting...she loves the stamps and ink pads. I can't wait until we move so I can set up a little space for her.
I'm already dreaming of all the fun things to put in it--playdough, watercolors, fingerpaint, etc...I can't wait to see what she does with it and how she too will inspire me with the creativity we are all born with!
