fingerpainting

oh yea! it's that time of year again. well, it was like 6 weeks ago but my ma gets behind, remember?! i've been asking her to do this all summer long!! i just love our annual finger/body painting and we finally got to.

where we get to truly feel that paint between our fingers and toes...

and maybe a few other usually-off-limit places...

and just get crazy wit' it!!!

we try and use as many fun paint colors as we can...

and cover as much of ourselves as we can...

you wouldn't believe how many colors we can fit on one hand...

and how many great designs we come up with on our own...

so here are a lot of pictures that my mom helped me put up of us creating our masterpieces...

right on our faces...

we made some pictures on paper too...

you know - when we ran out of room on ourselves...

except for my little sis. she was determined to cover every inch of herself. have you seen her by the way???

OH! there she is!

ad: "what? did i do something wrong?"

ad: "but look how cute i am with my green face?"

ad: "come on...just gimme a kiss...you know you want to."

she's silly! me? i went for the warrior look...

e: "check out my cake and balloons i painted down my leg..."
ad: "yea, it's cute yane. do you yike my poople yegs?"
e: "yea! good job ad!"

ma...look how awesome we look!!!!

sisters + paint = love

our work....

adelyn, the incredible hulkess...

ad: "check out my muscles....they're breaking through this paint...grrrr."

and me....elena - a warrior princess...

and this is my ever-so-powerful fighting face...

and my life-is-rainbows-and-unicorns victory face...

unfortunately, it all had to come to an end. turns out the magic just washes right off....BUT my mom and dad say we can do it all again in just another year...so stay tuned.

and you can check out me and my little sis in the previous years here...2008, 2009, & 2010. my mom thinks it's hard to believe that we will be looking oh-so-little in these pictures sooner than later too. she's so silly. thanks for stopping by! love - elena jae
