Painting with the Boys

Painting on the back porch
Aiden was more interested in the bottles of paint than in painting a picture
Aiden and his painted belly
John started his new job this week so we are all beginning a little bit of a new routine. He enjoyed his first week quite a bit and feels like the position will be challenging in many areas. The boys and I enjoyed swimming with our twin friends, playing outdoors, eating popsicles, and trying to fight off all the mosquitoes that have suddenly appeared in Minnesota. We did some painting this week and I was reminded why it is not a good idea to paint with a child the age of Aiden. Aiden had no interest in actually painting anything but his belly. Luke and Liam, on the other hand, really enjoyed the painting and were so excited to do it. I was impressed at how much they were into it.
Funny things from the boys this week....
1. Liam always says, "I can't hear it better" when we are in the car and he wants me to turn up the music or the DVD movie.
2. Aiden has learned to sing Happy Birthday and goes around humming it and trying to sing some of the words.
3. Luke said that he is bigger than Liam because he eats chicken and pretty soon if he keeps eating chicken then he will be able to ride the school bus.
