Artists

My guys love to think of their bodies as the perfect canvas for any artistic media, and this week they chose acrylic paint. Admittedly, I was remiss in thinking I could leave two energetic boys outside with paint, brushes, etc. I could almost hear the sun urging them to free themselves from the confines of the project I had assigned them.

"Here's all you'll need to paint the boards in front of you. Enjoy. Have fun," and off I went to make chicken cutlets and pasta with sauce, with occasional checks.

The first two checks on the kids went fairly well, but right in the middle of cooking the first round of chicken cutlets, my two little artists unveiled the more enjoyable art on their bodies. Behold:
