sun catchers

when we were out shopping for decorations for the 'birthday' cupcakes madelyn took to school, we picked out some 'sun catchers' to paint as a family craft.  my thought was that it would be something fun to do on mothers day.  but we were so busy with house stuff that we didn't have the time to do them until today!

the kids loved this so much and it was a fun family activity.  i think it will be a while before we do it again though because there were a lot of warnings about the paint (aka stain).  we even took madelyn's shirt off to guard against staining (which is why she isn't in the pictures).

we had one brush for each color, but mason was too inspired to wait for his turn and started double dipping.

fun and decorative!  love.
this is how mason was only seconds before the smiling picture.  he just busts out the huge smile one second for the picture and then goes back to the 'zone'.

mason's dog.  he did a lot of double dipping and wanted to keep painting even after it was done.

daddy's had a polka dot balloon to cover up some double dip swirls courtesy of mason.
