Ikea!

We woke up to rain, there was a small break and we took our morning walk and jumped in puddles.

Jared is out of school for semester break, so we went to pick up some stuff we've been needing.
Emers kept knocking my easel over trying to paint like liv. So we bought some easels from ikea. $15!!! A steal.





Rockstar Ira!





She laid flowers for us on our seats. We were instructed to throw them at her feet when she was done.











Then we celebrated with hot cocoa.

Liv and the easel

The girls both paint and draw a lot.... I was contemplating getting them easels but wondered if they would use them more than painting at the table. Are old easel was used a lot but kind of led to more messes than art.

I pulled out my easel after getting oil paint on the kitchen counter too many times and she stole it.

Literally refuses to let anyone near the easel :)
I think my easel is perfect but it's not the most sturdy- liv likes it because Cedric can't get to her stuff, there is room in the drawer for a sippy cup and many supplies-

She has painted/drawn/white board drawn at this easel for over two hours at LEAST everyday.

It has been so interesting how this space has inspired her so much.
