i decided to stop,
get the camera,
and document the moments yesterday.
mid summer and the house was fairly calm and quiet.
i attribute it to the paint.
paint makes kids happy!
makes mommy happy too!
bill and kandi hard at work, couldn't do anything with out them!
somehow i think they re happier they are not painting, lol!!
i will be painting again for most of the day today and then payton and i are off for some "p + m (payton + mommy time". basically these are random special days where each child gets some alone time with mommy payton's will involve pedicures, lunch, a walk, window shopping and a trip to target for a new dress (but shh, she doesn't know about the dress yet!)
I love your son's apron. Very manly:) Have a great day.

Donna, my favorite pic is the one of your DS wearing the pretty floral apron. He will get you back for that one day, LOL!
I love capturing those terrific everyday moments. Love it!

Okay...too funny...maybe on mommy and Cole day you should find him a non-floral apron...or maybe Payton will give up the Ranger denim one...lol Or not...Cole just maybe comfortable in his own apron world...have a great day, Roberta

Love the everyday shots, especially the aprons. I love capturing those moments for later, not embarrassment just memories of innocence. Enjoy the paint!

Aww, so precious! I am sure paint would make my 7 yr old son happy too! He loves crafty stuff! We try to do the alone time with each kids when we can.

Paint does make kids happy, lucky for them they have a paint lover as their mother :-)
