this and that

Gwen got these really fun finger paints for her birthday, and she just recently started to show some serious interest in painting. So we pulled out the paints the other day just to see how creative the Barlow kids really are, and here is what we ended up with...

Young Harrison can actually hold the paintbrush, and he likes to do so.
He and Gwen are very serious about their art, I mean look at the concentration on those little faces.
I told Gwen that she could use her hands and fingers, but she was more interested in using the brushes as well. Hello can you say cut the mess in half, perfect!
Gwen is kind of funny when she is painting, she is all about one color at a time, she will use tons of red, and then when 95% of the paper is red, then she will switch to another color to use all over everything. I wonder if there is a personality test for painting that I could use to see what she will be like as a teenager...?
Then there is Harrison, totally not afraid to use the brush, fingers, hands, and smear it on his face and in the ears if need be. Then there is the sure fire way to tell if he is finished....
Whatever he is eating, doing, painting goes in the hair. Yep that means it is time to get down.

Last Sunday Harry found a few things to make himself just like dad...start with some shoes...
walk a little and then add a tie...
then tie it up just like dad. Isn't that the cutest thing ever! I mean he really tried to tie it just like James. I guess that he is the daddy's boy through and through. Except James doesn't run food or paint through his hair when he is finished at the table. ( at least not that I am aware of)
