Minne-SNOW-ta (Part 2)

I don't know if I've mentioned this, but Libby is quite the little artist. Give her something artsy crafty to do and that girl is in Heaven. She so loves her arts and crafts that her daycare lady saves all the projects for the days that she is there so she can participate. She colors, she paints, she glues, she draws, she sculpts and stamps (in Play-doh)...you name it, she will do it. With her whole little being.

Every room in our house holds tools for her artsy craftsy tendencies. In the guest room, a dresser drawer holds holiday themed projects just waiting for lazy afternoons. In the bathroom, there are crayons for drawing on the tile and bathtub. Play-doh is stocked in the kitchen. Coloring books hide out on a bookshelf in her room. Mom's room has a hidden closet full of miscellaneous supplies. And her art easle is set up in the corner of our living room, with a side for chalk, a side for markers, and paper for her ultimate favorite: painting.

Apparently painitng in the nude gives her more inspiration.

In an effort to get outside and burn off some toddler energy, the other day we took our "painting" outside. A quick trip to the dollar store for some spray bottles to fill with cold water and food coloring and we were set to paint the snow. Pretty sure I have the prettiest backyard walkway of anyone in the Cities right now.



We are still recovering from the strep/cold/sinus infection bug. It's impossible to get a picture right now that isn't snotty.





See, ain't it pretty?!

 Like Rainbow Brite used to sing:
"Take a pinch of red, a dash of blue, we'll color you a rainbow.
Add a yellow flower, and a violet hue, I'll color you a rainbow.
Mix it up with smiles and laughter too...
Paint a rainbow inside of you, paint a rainbow, let your smile shine through. When it's cold and gray, push the clouds away, paint a rainbow in your heart.
In the icy cold of winter snow, you can paint a rainbow!"
