Rainy Day Art & Music

The kids spent the morning at the creche and when they got home, I gave them a little snack and let them watch tv for a bit. Then I pulled out our easels, birthday gifts from Grandma & Grandpa S, and we painted for a while. Walter was bored after 5 minutes and ready to move onto the next thing, but I kept explaining that we were painting now and eventually, he came back around.

Love our easels!

Gordon is quite serious and precise with his painting

Adele's a goof and loves experimenting. She ended up wiping her painted paper with a wet wipe, then painting with wipes and paper towels. She loves to paint her hands and use other objects on the paper.

Walt gets a bunch of different colors on his hand and makes very cool, multi-colored handprints.

Some new artwork handing on the wall. From L to R, Walter, Gordon, Adele

After painting, it took me a while to clean up, so the kids were running around doing this and that. But once clean up was done, they decided it was time for some music.

And the band plays...

And the band plays some more...

The kids were singing "Let it Go" from the movie Frozen. They don't know the words, so it involved a lot of shouting. Of course, most of Walt's singing involves a lot of shouting.

Adele actually sang a bit from the song, but I missed it on video. I had to at least post this little snippet because she almost never sings.


A day of art and music just isn't complete without a little dancing.
