Painting into Spring

Today, was the first non-meltdown day from Grace, so I decided today would be a perfect day for some painting before dinner. I saw this craft on Meet the Dubiens yesterday, and I knew it was something Grace could do.

She loved it. I used paper plates simply because the off-white/grey doodle paper I had just seemed too blah for me. And Grace modified the original plan of using thumbprints into using her pointer finger. And most of you know, there is no arguing with Grace. Can you tell which hyacinth Grace did by herself?



She made four hyacinth plate paintings and a few plain finger paint plate paintings.

And because it looked fun, I made one too.

3. I gave up coffee.
4. Grace's laugh.
5. Pinkalicious books
6. Grace's cheesy smile
