::a little paintin'::


Today, we painted rocks...

...it sounds a little weird, I know, but they're for our garden (part of the "project" in the backyard) so we can mark where things are planted.

And we thought they turned out pretty cute...


What is it about painting?
It's one the the kids all-time favorite things to do. They ask me just about every day if they can paint, and they could do it all day long. I painted the pictures on these, but they helped with the spray painting, squirting the paint into the bowls, mixing the paint, washing the rocks, dipping their brushes into every color to see what colors they could make, and they painted some rocks of their own. They both (Coopie was taking a (very) little nap) had SO much fun.

And, after we were all done...
...Chloe was still painting.

That is such a cute idea to use painted rocks as labels for a garden! Plus it look like the kiddies loved it. Fun activity!

How cute! I wish I had a garden...
And I would copy your idea but I would spell carrots the correct way. HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Hey Happy Mother's Day, have fun today at the party. We are sad we won't be there...
