Can I help you paint Daddy?
So my husband, Ben, is an art director. And recently he has started to rediscover his love of painting and sketching. He really likes to paint on a big scale, whenever he does paint Mason usually drives Ben nuts by asking over and over again, ” Can I help Daddy? Can I help you paint?” Now we all know that you can’t “help” anyone paint but try telling that to a three year old.
So one Saturday Ben being the loving father that he is decided to finally let Mason “help”.
So he spread a cloth on the floor laid down a board dropped paint on it and let Mason have at it. Since Mason’s arms were so short he just ended up walking all over the board and got paint on him from head to toe it was hilarious to watch and Mason had a blast!
I have to say it did turned out pretty good and it’s hanging on our wall. I think they are planning some future collaborations. =-)
Wordless Wednesdays

A leaf
I had the most wonderful Mother’s Day. My husband and my Chickens did a really good job.
On Saturday I was hopelessly trying to pump my 3 year old for information on my Mother’s Day present… I would ask him, “What did you get mommy?” He kept saying ” A leaf”. I was thinking ok this should be interesting. He is not above picking up a stick or a leaf and saying, “Mommy here is a present for you.” So I did not know what to expect a box of leaves? He is after all three, but Daddy was involved so I need not worry. Besides any mommy would be thankful for a box of leaves from their three year old right?
We were frantically getting ready for church we are always running late and Ben said he had a surprise for me. He opened up one side of a wardrobe we have and said I have door number one. He had the cutest card from Mason and Kyra it said that I got to go shopping and I could pick out one bracelet and one necklace.
Then he opened door number two and had laid out some of the prettiest necklaces and bracelets. He said I got to pick one bracelet and one necklace and as you can see they are leaves. Thank you Chicken!
These are the two that I picked. They are handmade by a local artist who is actually a women blacksmith Magic Metals LTD.
