Great Arters

We spent a big chunk of our morning today painting. We even broke out the new brushes! Between the two kids, there must be about 25 painted plates....seems Pat had to create one in each color.

This really was the first time that Elizabeth has painted with a brush, at least at our house. She did a pretty good job, although she kept needing some assistance on holding it the most manageable way.
A bunch of plates in Pat told me, over and over, that he really is a "great arter" and how he "arts at school".
It wasn't long before Elizabeth discovered that her hands are great "brushes" too. She did well painting with them.
However, when paint began to travel to the walls, chair, and Elizabeth's face and legs, I knew it was time for her to stop. I think Pat would have painted all day if I had let him.
