This year we decided to do something different for Damien. I took the kids to the craft store and yes we ended up in the painting area. They love to paint so it was only fitting. We picked out some white canvas squares and some acrylic paint and headed home. Each child painted their own picture but on different days, I wasn't sure how fast I could clean up a mess if they were both painting. Addison went first. She loved using the brush, dipping the brush and mixing the new colors. I had to provide a little assistance because she was mixing so much that I was afraid everything was soon going to turn brown.
Greyson enjoyed finger painting on the canvas. He was much messier and a little more cautious. He was more into smearing the paint all over.
Tug of War with cousin Molly. It was boys against the girls.

We have been outside alot enjoying the weather and working in the yard. Every once in awhile familiar music would play through the streets. I would smile and remember the memories of running to the curb to get some ice cream from the ice cream man. While I finally broke down the other day and told Addison and Greyson what that music meant. As soon as I told her she smiled and said the "ice cream man." I said yes as I scooped my babies up and walked to the curb to flag the ice cream man down. There were more choices then I remembered included the one Addison picked out... Dora the Explorer Popsicle. Wow! Greyson and I shared a Super Pop and he loved. (Sorry no pictures of that, he was too busy eating for me to break out the camera. I took Addison's before I showed Greyson our popsicle.)
A little play-date dress up party with Finley, too precious. She arrived in jammies which was great because Addison and Greyson were also in jammies but in minutes she was transformed into a Princess. A girl after my own heart, always wanting to change their clothes and upgrade!
Tea Party for Three!
Greyson enjoys a game of Peek-a-boo.
Now digging in the dirt!
