Painting

Today I did something a little crazy. I let my daughter have a ditch day!

It was a lot of fun. I had a doctor appointment and so I let her stay home so we could hang out just the two of us. A Mommy-Daughter Ditch Day! I asked her what she wanted to do. She said, "Can we paint?!" So I said "Sure!"

 Here she is working hard on her first painting!

Here is her creation!

Here is my painting!

It was a really great experience that I almost missed out on. I used to have this obsession with my kids having perfect attendance. Now I realize that it is okay for our children to miss one day of school every once in a while to have a new and different experience. Life is about so much more than good grades and standardized tests. Perhaps if my parents had done the same for me when I was a child I wouldn't have had to create this site! I hope you all enjoy our paintings!
