One of my favorite activities to do with Nathan is...

Painting

We get out our bucket of brushes and a bunch of paints

Sponges and paint trays

Anything goes....

the messier, the better

Nathan said "Good job Mommy, you will make a great artist someday."  :)

Painting is hard work and requires lots of snacks for energy....

Despite the mess...it's the most relaxing thing to do with kids.

I know...sounds crazy, right?
