This represents a fair amount of bravery for me- I haven't done much painting at home with TP as he goes to Playgroup where he has free access to paint and sticking and junk box modelling. Unfortunately since we updated the kitchen with rustic slate tiles I have lost the kitchen as a tolerated venue for messy activities....so painting with the palette paints was a 'first' for him. Having said that he did quite well as there are fairly complicated instructions- add water but not too much, self mixing, brush cleaning etc- quite different to ready mix and a clean brush sitting in each. He even managed to share with his sister on a small surface!
This is FIs hedgehog- produced as my mothers day picture/card bless!
Well we have had a quiet weekend - which was required after a week of rushing around. As always I find myself struggling between the balance of 'in' and 'out'. This week the children have been 'victims' in emergency services decontamination exercise. This required them to go through decontamination showers and into provided clothing- its seems their excellent behaviour has earned them a free visit to the local ice rink as well as a VIP tour around the local police stables (interesting but they never got asked why they weren't at school teeheehee not even by the police). Another busy week coming up again....
I love the hedgehog picture!
