painting the the tents for sudan project. these tents will go to DC the first week in november to bring awareness and attention to sudan.
picking out her colors.
i am not great at painting. since e likes to paint a lot, i have been painting more this week with her. i realized that my approach to painting is that painting is like drawing and it's just not actually like that. for me, painting seems to require more patience and forethought. that's hard for me. also, i don't usually even know what i want to paint. today, i did a tree. for the tent, i did a preggo belly and wrote the word "moms" b/c well, there are moms in sudan. and, sometimes they are pregnant and that could be hard. here is a blog that our friends recommend about sudan. our friends are both aid workers there...little did we know that about a week after painting these tents, those precious people would be at our house for lasagna and chocolate cake! we were so incredibley excited to see them and spend time talking. i will show you there faces soon.
paperhand puppet intervention.
"do you want a fish, a turtle or a frog?", the nice art lady asked her."a chicken.", e said.
"uhm. okay. hmmmnnn." the art lady graciously thought to herself. "let's get you a chicken." and she gave us paper and scissors to create a chicken cut out...which evidenced by their presence in a near-by coop, makes them eno river animals! e's dad drew the chicken and painted with her. i helped the bear paint the fish and then so did e.
huge tinket toys.
there was a bit of a chicken theme going on as that was her face paint request.
