While the kids are away

Since the two older kids have started school I'm doing my part to help incorporate everyday activities that nourish and enrich the lives of my two younger spawn at home. I suggested a little TV watching or perhaps a little computer game playing. Macie was thinking something more along the lines of a spa day and a little toe nail painting. I kindly obliged.

We discussed colors and counting, and reviewed the cardinal rules of toe nail painting.




Overall, I would say it was a growing experience for Macie.
Next time we will talk about trying to paint in the lines
(or rather, keeping the paint on just the toe nail... something I haven't quite figured out how to do myself)

And just FYI- she painted my toes last week and 7 days later my toes still look like that.
It seems as if I've inconveniently ran out of nail polish remover.
I guess that's okay, because Macie beams with pride every time she see's me in flip-flops.

I love it! Look how happy she is. We should get our girls together...KJ loves to do that to my toes too.Only we only do one color. I love that you let her use that many colors. You just won the mommy award!

I think they're beautiful!! But, more important is the fact you left them for a little girl to be thrilled.
