This is why...

we don't paint a lot in this house! I thought Cooper was a mess but it doesn't look too bad in pictures. If you look close you can see paint on his neck and of course on his outfit, and in his hair (I don't think you can see that). We weren't fingerpainting, we were actually trying out some really neat paintbrushes he got for Christmas, but of course it was more fun to fingerpaint! I need to be more adventurous and not care about mess as much, so I am trying! :)

Here he's showing me his hands.

The beautiful finished product!

I thought I'd tack on a few pics from our trip to the zoo last week, when it was 70 degrees here! I didn't get very many pics, just a few cute ones. Here are all the kids (Elizabeth, Ben, and Cooper) on the alligator at the zoo.

Cooper and Ben, best friends, checking out the birds.
