Bathtime Art

Monday was not my finest day as a mother- no one had a great day, Elise was super grouchy, the kids were frustrated we weren't doing anything fun (house hunting is the pits with kids!), and I had no patience for any of it (never good for a Monday).  So by the time Chris came home Family Home Evening plans weren't done so I improvised- thank you pinterest for your wealth of ideas.  There was no lesson, just an activity (i.e. attempting keeping the kids happy and contained while I tried to pull myself together)  Thankfully it worked!
All it took was a bit of leftover shaving cream from last year's preschool, food coloring, some paint brushes, and a little bit of nudity and the kids were happy.

Maybe next week we'll do something super spiritual and perfectly planned out for family home evening...

Our FHE was walking to the nearest park and getting eaten by bugs :) No lesson either. Sometimes those kinds of FHE's happen. We'll pray for that house hunting business.
