We are ARRRRTIISITS!

Imagine me saying that with my fake French accent....

Today is a down-right rainy day. One cannot really send their kids outside to play in the rain (well, not a reasonably sane person who tries to keep her floor decently clean). So we needed to find something to do inside. I don't know if I posted it before but I painted the basement and planned to have the kids supply the artwork for the walls. I bought some canvases off of Amazon.com - the absolute cheapest place to buy them (that I've found). Thus today we busted out the canvases to do some artwork.

I found some things out.

1. Luke is a perfectionist, so he gets extremely frustrated when things are not exactly as he wants them.
2. Abby is a free spirit and much more of the "abstract" art type.
3. Libby would rather eat the paint then make marks with it.
4. I can impress my children with my somewhat lacking artistic abilities.

Here they are:

I think yours is really, really good. Obviously you've never seen someone who really is lacking in artistic ability (me!)
