Painting on the new easel

Emma LOVES to paint. Every time we are not sure what to do, Emma always say-lets paint mom. She just loves the brushes and having to dip the brushes in the paint and there is water involved. The whole concept is awesome to her. And i can see why. I love to observe her and watch how much she enjoys it. For someone as energetic as Emma it is quite a miracle when i think how she can sit for 30minutes or even longer sometimes and just be happy painting. Well painting got a whole new meaning when we got a big package in the mail and Grandma sent her a new big easel and a whole new set of brushes and paint. Wow imagine what we are doing every day:) Nora loves it also, but there are few issues with her doing it. Brushes usually end up in her mouth. So we tried chalk. Not good idea either-they end up in her mouth as well. When will someone invent edible craft supplies for all the little siblings. She still enjoys doing it sometimes with Emma with our supervision. Emma is not super excited to share the easel though. Here are some of the photos of the girls with it.

 
 
 
 

Sleeping

Nora likes to sleep in the corner of the bed. And i finally got a picture of it. Her legs were sticking out too.

 
 

Washington trip

Late August we went on a very short trip to Washington state visiting Grandma Sue, aunt Faith & Pam and going to Ruth's wedding. we had a great time and wish we could have stayed a bit longer. Emma just loved playing each day in the barn and seeing the animals. A very big hit with emma also was grandma sue's iPhone and some of it's fun games:) We can not forget Saddie, Faith's little dog that was very loved by both Emma and Nora. we stayed at uncle John's house and he has a bunch of animals and things that were of interest to the kids. he also has only one real eye so Emma calls him the one eye man:)This was our opportunity to see chris' grandma too. Emma could not say great grandma and just called her Great Mother. In Anacortes there is a big croatian community so we were able to have a lunch in croatian restaurant one day and I was able to speak croatian a bit with some croatians. IT was all together a nice trip and we were thankful we could go. Below are the pictures from the trip. We do not have many pictures from the wedding. When we get some of the professional pics we may post some of those. The wedding was nice even though we all froze-winds on the island were brutal.
