Someone gave us a whole bunch of finger paints, like, two years ago. I've let Addison use them a few times, but it really just stresses me out. I know...you'd think I'd be the kind of person who would be fine with my kid making a big huge mess and well, I just really hate cleaning up all that paint.
Anyway, Addison was begging me to let her "hand paint" and Ainsley has never
had the chance to give it a try, so I let them go outside and paint.
Things started off ok: Ainsley started off by taking a big taste of the paint (of course), but then figured out what to do from watching Addison
Look of pure delight
Starting to get a little messier now. Hmmm...going off the table.
Oh dear....
Mmmk. Where's the hose? 
See you next year fingerpaints.

I showed this post to Dan and he said "that's awesome! She looks like the incredible hulk!" Good work, Addison and Ainsley!
I laughed so hard I cried. :)
Looks like they had fun! Too bad things that are fun for kids are so much more work for us....
okay, i was seriously laughing. i want a copy of the shot of ainsley covered in paint at the end. ahhhhdorable.
Wowzers. If it makes you feel any better we NEVER fingerpaint in this house. Well, I take that back. Only if it is that ColorWonder finger paint stuff from crayola. That stuff is genius!
You are such a great mom! From finger paints to puddles. I go into shock just thinking of the messes. I can't even handle sidewalk chalk. I have to spray off the driveway before we go inside. One day maybe one day.....
That's so awesome Marie! What a great mom you are, letting them experiment with paints and get creative!!
