My Lily just loves to paint.  (And I’m glad because I don’t have an athletic bone in my body.)  So yesterday I got out the paints, paper and brushes and I let her have at it.    She created several masterpieces…

Here is a lovely example of some Abstract work by Lily.  Notice how I have made the executive decision not to have her in clothes… You’ll see why I did this very soon.

Yes!  Here is the reason why she has no clothes… So she can teach us all how to tummy paint!

Step one: Paint your Tummy

Step Two…

Stamp your tummy on the paper… Do we need to see another example?

Yay for tummy stamping artwork!

And then I get her into the tub before she can touch anything.

Remember: Creativity isn’t always clean, but it is always fun and always important!

It’s pumpkin time again.  About this time of year I get very, very excited!  I am a huge pumpkin nut… and even though my pumpkin patch produced nothing but flowers (I’m not the greenest of thumbs) it did not dampen my enthusiasm for this pumpkin season at all!

It has now become tradition to head out to Roland, MB for the Giant Pumpkin Festival and get a picture with the giant pumpkins.  It’s a pretty awesome sight.  Here are some pictures of my mini cupcakes with this season’s giant pumpkins.
