My little Picaso's

As I wrote in a previous post, we borrowed Mike's brother's bunk bed and turned it into a loft bed for Sarah. We thought it would be fun to let the kids paint the board on her bed, so she would have something fun to look at instead of just brown wood. Tonight we had some family time and got creative.

Sarah painted a rainbow, high tower and the sky above Mike's picture. She also had fun at the end adding her hands and feet to the mix.



Steven focused on modern art with an emphasis in lines and dots. I like the way the lines represent his daily striving to stay on the straight and narrow path and how the dots represent the bumps we all face. ("Intro to art" was my 2nd lowest college grade if you can't tell)



Mike had a lot of fun channeling his inner Bob Ross. It was fun listening to him narrating his painting and seeing how quickly he could add the elements. I love my big little kid.



The kids all added their footprints to mark the occasion. I thought Steven's feet were the same size as Sarah's, but she still has a slight edge on him.

Adam contributed his foot print, but mostly just hung out. :-)
