Spring Flowers

 Last week the girls and I did a little finger painting and made these cute spring flowers.  They loved getting their fingers in the paint and using their thumbs to make the flower petals.  I had to chuckle at how differently each girl approached the flowers. 
Dot was very precise in making her petals....working hard to keep them round, with white centers with a splash of color on top of the white.
 L was a little more free with her flower making and seemed to like hers larger and didn't mind if the petals weren't touching each other.
 They both liked finger painting the stems in.  
Isn't that beautiful?!  Put that in a frame and WOW!  Great job, L!
 So serious!
 Dot decided to make her stems shorter and a few with leaves.  
Love it!
And yesterday was a beautiful day so we spent a ton of time outside.  Dot really likes mermaids lately so we took her Ariel bathtub doll, some ponies and some pretend lizards (hey, why not?) outside to play in a bucket of warm water.  We put some landscape rocks in there too to make it more ocean-like.  They played here forever and it was such fun to listen to their little conversations.
