Last night at our house was craft night. Much fun was had by ALL!
Much thanks to Auntie R. who provided the evenings entertainment...
Yes, his fingernails are painted - but I was able to bribe him to let me cut them before I painted them !
It used to be more difficult for me to stand back and let them do their own thing. I had an idea of how things should look and I wanted to make sure that the finished product looked a certain way. I have that inclination no longer. Sure, I would like to do one MYSELF the way "I" would like to - but I love that they dive into projects with little or no help. They have a lifetime ahead of people who will tell them what to do and to colour things a certain way and not to mix the pain colours, but our time with them now I want to be just fun, without restriction, that they will remember and love to talk about as they get older.
Thanks Auntie R for sending us this AWESOME project. We loved it!!!

Budding artists! I bet they had a great time :)
I love your approach - you are right. We are told what to do and how to do it our whole lives. Fostering our own ideas and creativity is as important a lesson as any growing up.
