Still painting :)

Today we hit the fabric store again. Personally l love all this help I am getting from the grand’s on this painting deal. Nothing like young imaginations for sure.
One thing about painting you can always do it over if you don’t like it. We have two tables to paint and we already did one with a sponge effect but pa wouldn’t let us do the other one in the chalkboard we wanted so we decided among ourselves to go find as many of those rubber stamps as we could in leaf patterns and do both tables with those. Took out the sponge and did the table in yellow in a smear effect and then took a tube of green paint placed it in a dish and showed the kids what to do then I just stood back LOL they took over in a drove because there little cousins came over to visit for awhile. And Walla we now have this table on its way with a nice green leaf pattern done by them. Several more colors of leaves down and we will be done. Should come out well too. And they are having a blast. Once we done with this one then we drag out the next one and make it almost the same. Though I doubt seriously they will be identical but the kids will always appreciate what they did as well as the adults that can sit and say decorated by the kids here. Ages 5 through 11 and there are 5 of them working on this project today. Then it’s on to recover plain old wooden knobs for dresser drawers here. I found out they can sure work with polymer clay too. Make some really cool patterns so will be having them do that and help me cover those wooden knobs we bought today. Along with working on quits too. And of course keeping up with summer homework. Got one on the leap pad working on reading each day, one on the black board working on letters and numbers and one reading up on abacuses and learning how to use that. Caring for pets and doing fun things and our summer is going to be one we will always remember for sure. We also let them pick out two different pieces of fat quarters each ,at the fabric store. So when we have a table to work on soon we will be planning our fist quilt too.
Not one funny story about Alaska for you that I can think of today. Sorry about that. Just having a blast with the kids here. Got to scoot got the patio swing covers to re dye in dark green.
