A couple of days ago, I gave the boys permission to get messy. Very messy ... as in finger-paint-can-be-used-on-my-entire-body-and-not-just-my-paper kind of messy.
so, we REALLY need to come visit you guys so that my children can truly enjoy childhood! Playdoh AND fingerpaints!?! I can only imagine that you do glitter as well. . . sigh. to be "fun" and be ok with messy messy stuff! I suppose that's why I have Papa - he's Mr. Fun/Messy guy and is ok with that! HA!
Looks like they had a blast! What an amazing mama they have!
This blog was created to chronicle our family's journey to adopt our fourth child, a little boy from Haiti. Long before knowing him, we chose his name: Ian, meaning "God is gracious." Along the way our journey grew to include not only one, but two little boys from Haiti!
Ian and Alec finally arrived home on January 19, 2010.
