What we do when Papi works late.

One of my very favorite things to do with my kids is art. I could probably be a little more laid back about it, but hey I'm working on it. I get a little up tight about how much glue and paint they waste, but like I said, I'm trying to be better. Anyways, last night Miguel was going to be working late, so I decided to fill the time after dinner with an art project inspired by the Eric Carle book Mr. Seahorse which we had in our library basket this week. Thanks to Deep Space Sparkle for the great idea.

The kids love to do stuff like this and they especially loved it when I showed them how to splatter paint. What Mom? You actually WANT us to throw paint?

It was fun watching their faces light up everytime the paint landed on the paper.

When Miguel came home there was paint, sequins, scissors, and more paint everywhere, but at least I was meeting my goal in spending more time engaged with the kids.
