"You're dirty enough now, Eva." Chloe said. Eva was very proud of herself for gettting dirty. She's happy when Chloe's proud of her.
"Touch me! Touch me!" *squeals of giggles*
So, today - thanks to the finger painting experience the girls had a little over a week ago at a friends house- I whipped out some finger paints and let the girls have at 'em. Chloe was hesitant a week ago to get her fingers dirty and asked for a paintbrush. "oh no!" I had said to my friend. This 'problem' had to stop. My little Chloe was the one with the dirty garden hands, the gooey gluey hands and loving to get her hands into things. Being out here in a brown, not friendly environment, and having rental houses has put quite a halt to those fun things. However, I am learning it just needs to be done, with caution. So, with caution I embarked, and with enthusiasm they accepted it! I wish I could just get a garden going now or some real flowers outside!

Oh goodness! Save gardening for when the weather cools down a bit and Baby Gabey is out, LOL. You can prep a garden in the Fall... but until then, just plan or whatever :-).
Oh - and I heard a good recipe on a friend's blog where you make paint with condensed milk and food coloring - that way it's totally no worries & non-toxic (but, I suppose, potentially habit-forming ;-). Anyway, fun stuff! :-) Enjoy schooling! :-)
