Spring Painting On The Patio

And then Sarah painted on the patio. I love how she painted Black Kitty for Daniel and presented it to him later on. So sweet how she thinks of her brother...she is growing in love!

Filling Boxes and Marker Art

I have sold handmade items online for over five years. I closed my business in January so I could be focused on my children. I still sell supplies online but only fill a few orders per week. The top photo shows the kids helping me do some packaging. They are earning money to purchase some plush toys they want. Then...Sarah...drew with marker all over her body. WOW, what an artist!

Sarah-Prolific Painter

Sarah is very creative and has been asking for an easel. The new easel arrived! The new paint arrived! It was a beautiful day so we took the newly assembled easel out on the back patio. Sarah dove right in! Dan was inside but then came to join in! Sarah has been asking to paint standing up at an easel, so we did a little research and I'm really pleased with the easel we selected. Daniel liked Sarah's rainbow so much he did one of his own.

Easel is very sturdy. Took me awhile to put it together. I've purchased paints in the past and decided I wanted a good set that we could share and take care of and have for a long time. I decided on the Lakeshore Learning paints which have 10 colors and matching cups and brushes and paint cup carrier. Since we put aside a little each month for "curriculum" in our budget, we were able to make this investment for our family.
