I hate being away from my kids — even if it is only for 30 hours.
That being said, I was happy to have a Sunday with them where we spent the whole afternoon hanging out and doing fun things.
So after church, we had a snack and then set up for painting.

Navy got a birdhouse for her birthday, and I happened to have two other mini ones, so we got them painted and out on our front tree.

This girl is detail oriented.
She takes her time, and likes to create masterpieces.

This boy is usually a quick and careless artist.
But this time around, he was pretty meticulous.
I told him if he spent that kind of time on his coloring in his English Journal that I correct every week, he wouldn’t get “Crappy Work” written across his picture.

And this boy is just crazy.
He was like a ticking time bomb.
With paint on his hands and brush, I had to watch him like a hawk to protect everything within a three room radius.

After we painted our tree houses and got them on our tree, we decided to make chocolate chip cookies.

This boy decided to make them in all sizes.

This girl made a bunch of minis.

And this stinker — well, he just ate every bit of dough I gave him.

Have I ever said that Sunday is the best day of the week?
It’s the best!
