So, I'm a control freak. I have a hard time letting my kids mix colors and splatter paint all over the place. I found these old poster/foam boards last night and told myself
"tomorrow will be the day that I let the boys do what they want." I stayed true to my words, but it was really hard for me to let them run around, dump out the paint, mix the colors to a pukey purple shade, etc. But, I did it . . . for about 20 minutes . . . and then we were done. I was way too stressed. Aaaaah! When am I going to be able to let go?!
All in all it was a good time. I did enjoy seeing them have so much fun. I loved watching them use their bodies and imaginations in creative ways. I'm really trying hard to hand over the reigns and let them do what they want for their projects. This is a start at least.
This is right after I caught Spencer running on the carpet with painted feet. Poor guy, he was having so much fun. Seems the weather had nothing to do with our "rainy" day. I'm afraid
I'm the damper.
One day I'm going to be able to say,
"It doesn't matter what happens . . . this is so fun!" One day . . .
