craft day

we had craft day on friday.

we as in belle, karen, & binh. we had fuuuuun!

belle gets so bored easily & i hate when she depends on tv for entertainment.

she likes to draw, color, & she recently saw pics of other kids painting & she realllyyy wanted to try.

& knowing me..."of course you can paint!"

painting was my favorite class in high school. stef & binh were in the same class & it was the best.

for this craft, we used watercolor.

i first drew an octopus for belle to paint.

then everyone else wanted to do a sea animal.

karen did the whale.

binh started out with a shark, then it ended up looking like a dolphin & also a seashell.

i did a seahorse.

& belle also painted a stingray & little fish for bonus.

the only time we helped belle was to get the colors she wanted on her brush.

everyone so focused.

then when our sea friends dried, we cut them out.

& also cut out a giant fish bowl. then we glued them altogether!

belle's octopus!

it's so cute!! it's proudly hanging in the living room.

i remember karen saying, "that's not fair! how come all of belle's looks better than mine?!"

;)

& i also love my fat seahorse.
