Finger painting

It has been raining lately or so incredibly hot and humid that we have been finding new things to do when we are not at the pool cooling off. I picked up finger paint the other day and the kids have been making masterpieces for me. :) And yes, we paint without clothes because it is amazing how much of Harper's paint ends up on her body and instead of on her paper. Fortunately, it comes off very easily in the bathtub.

She's thrilled with her work! :)

We also have been coloring with markers, so much cooler than crayons.

Such a silly girl. Harper has a very silly side, but many people don't get to see it because she is much more shy then Lake has ever been around other people.

Lake is learning to write his name. He has had the letter "L" down for some time, but we are working on the three that follow.

My Mom has been dying to get her hands on Harper's hair now that it is growing past her shoulders. She finally had the opportunity to braid the other day when she was over. Harper sat fairly still eating a snack while my Mom braided. She said she was a little rusty from the days when she use to braid my hair and Christina's hair. Unfortunately, after nap time it was a mess and had to be taken out, but it was cute while it lasted. :)
