Fun Art Days

We often have "Art time" at our house.  It usually takes place when Daddy is gone somewhere because it stresses him out to have that kind of a mess going on.  (Although he has gotten tons better...when he comes home while we're still doing it he actually can walk in the same room to check out the art work!)  Sometimes we do a craft project, but normally we do finger painting, or just regular painting.  When Hunter was younger he liked to finger paint on blank paper, but lately he's really enjoyed painting the pictures out of those HUGE coloring books.  We currently have a Backyardagins one, and he is greatly enjoying painting (not coloring...) all the pictures in it.  Gray is still a little young to paint with, but I'm sure she will be ready in a few months.  For now she either colors with crayons or draws with chalk while brother paints.
