Coloring Together


Photo-A-Day #2859

Andrew found a couple of fat crayons this afternoon and was carrying them all over the house. Eva took out her “Fashion book” and colored with Andrew in that book. He was so excited to color with Eva. He was laughing and smiling and having a great time. It is so fun to watch the kids play together and have fun. They are super sweet with each other.

We’ve noticed that Eva is getting more and more proficient with art. She painted an amazing couple of images in watercolor today. One of them is easily recognizable as Mulan and another as Ariel. She colored in the activity pages for Marvel’s Ultimate Spider-Man DVD that is coming out on Tuesday. The way she colored it was impressive to me because instead of the traditional blue and red she made the image look like a negative. It was really interesting to see her interpretation.

And It’s Good!

Tonight before I left for work we had a bowl party. Not a Super one but rather the Puppy Bowl. I had never watched this before but the kids were excited about watching the big game and it didn’t come on until after I had to leave so instead we made up a bunch of big game food and had dinner in the living room (a big treat) while we enjoyed Puppy Bowl 9. It was cute, all these puppies come onto a tiny little “field” and there are chew toys that if they bring into the end zone scores them a touchdown. It is all pretty much puppies playing with each other while official commentators and a ref do the play by play and cater to the sponsors like pedigree and Bissell. On one touchdown Andrew threw his hands up in the air and screamed. I think he was really enjoying it. Meanwhile we were enjoying this spread.

Our Super Bowl Spread

We had bacon wrapped scallops, buffalo wings, jalapeno stuffed shrimp, buffalo chicken dip, BLT and Honey BBQ flavored chips, Helluva good dip, Steak and Cheese Egg Rolls and more. It was very tasty. The kids enjoyed it was well as their chicken nuggets.
