Painting is serious business!

Maggie has discovered painting.  She loves it!  She works at it very intently.  Look at that face!

Mixing colors is her specialty.  She has no taste for color application the way the sample picture might show it! 

She intently tries to cover all the space on her figurine and says over and over what color she is using.

When she is done her hands are messy but who cares (well Daddy does but he's not home at the moment)!  The point is Maggie loves her new creative outlet!

Easter last year and this

Last year Maggie did a lot of looking at her brother and sister to take her cues from them.  Wondering what this strange activity was about.  She was also just 2 weeks post palate repair surgery and just barely eating solid foods.

She discovered quickly that the eggs were full of surprises.

This year she had it down.  After collecting her eggs she said "more."

Maggie helped color her first eggs this year and really enjoyed it.  Since she loves hard boiled eggs and egg salad, she be happy later too.

Clearly no cue needed here.  She recognizes and says "Easter basket!"

Fun was had by all!

Even Grandpa!
