Art

Every so often Andy goes on an art binge. He will find the art supplies and just want to use them. It is helpful to have a bunch of scrap paper on hand because he will tend towards a few marks on a sheet of paper and he's done and moving on to the next one.
This afternoon it was the watercolors. Of course when he wants to do it then so do the other children. This turned out to be a good thing as there was a thunder storm this afternoon and with all of the lightening and clouds the satellite TV was (and is) having issues (first difficulty getting reception during the storm, then a pinkish picture after the storm, and Jim is now trouble-shooting sound issues with customer service).
Anyway, I had a delightful time water coloring with them. Josie was particularly content painting for quite awhile. She happily filled up several papers with small blobs of color that made no particular picture. Doug actually produced two humanoid "monsters" with bodies and legs and eyes. Andy...it was hard to tell what he was making. It had something to do with his "flower business" and it also involved gluing strips of paper on to the edges of his paper.
