Paint and Chocolate Mess

Finger painting today...Austin and Ella have always preferred to use paint brushes.  So today when I put paint on their papers they just sat there and looked at me at first.  Then they both started using one finger to dip into the paint.  It took Austin a matter of seconds to realize he could get both hands involved.  Ella worked with one or two fingers most of the time until I put her hand in the paint.  Then she started using her hands. 

I guess she had an itch or something...because this was the only place she got paint on her besides her fingers/hands.

Love this picture!

Ella's hand.

He was done and took off.  I had to put him in the bathtub.

His attempt at cleaning up.

One side of the table was Austin's and the other was Ella's...look at the difference!

Austin's side...

Ella's side...

Lots of sweet playing today...a little train time.

Some peek-a-boo fun.

And...let's fill the playhouse with wooden blocks.

The edible arrangement from mom and Ed for Mother's day...I ate three chocolate covered strawberries as soon as I opened it.

Austin loved it.

I had to get the kids out of the house and since animal control has yet to come with a trap for the fox who has moved in under our shed...we went to the playground.

And this is what happens when you let Hunter have nutella.

And...no, he's not painting again...but, this is what happens when you let Austin have nutella.
