Picasso Jr.


After some visits from our friendly neighbours for dinner, the kids and I sat down to some painting. We had picked up a few ceramic statues from Michael's and the kids couldn't wait more than a few hours before they were ready to break them out and get them done. We spent a good 45 minutes choosing colors and perfecting our art pieces. Lucy had picked out an icecream sundae and a princess castle to paint; Max had a cow and a Dino; and I had a fish and a pirate. I also bought a package of fish magnets that we can paint another day.After our painting, the kids went outside on the trampoline with Dad, and then promptly came back in to tell me we were going for a bike-ride. You can tell how excited Lucy is about the idea.Grandma and Janeen joined us, and we biked down Camden Lane a ways and tried to spy a hawk, a horse, a truck, a tractor, a fox and a llama. We found them all except for the hawk. The kids even spied a culvert and decided to go for a trek inside for a few minutes. The bike home was much more difficult than the way down, but we made it without any major cramping. We stopped a grandma's for a quick popsicle and then headed to bed.
