Berkley's First Painting

I decided to take the girls out to paint yesterday. Berkley hasn't gotten to paint anything yet, so I thought it would be best to take all our cool stuff outside and let her go. I knew it would be messy and I knew I'd probably regret it about 5 minutes in, but I figured they would have a good time and it would kill the afternoon for us. It did, 30 minutes of painting and 45 minutes of cleaning up kids and paintbrushes :-) I hope it comes off the driveway!

Elliott was having fun painting with her feet.She got a little wild with it and ended up slipping and falling. Messy little baby toes. Berkley loved the green. Its the only color she really used, and she really enjoyed putting her feet in the paint. Elliott thought Berkley looked cool so paint covered that she painted herself. I didn't anticipate that. Here's Berkley and her Jolly Green Giant legs. She had so much fun and threw a huge fit when we had to go back inside. So I'd call it a success!Here she is washing off. We had to drain the water twice. And scrub a lot.
