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

finger painting tradition

it was sunday that we spent the whole day just enjoying our beautiful loving life girls. we had spent the morning on our 3 hour tour. so after nap we decided to get even more adventerous...

we've done it every summer with elena and now adelyn could finally join in...

she was off to a slow start...
but after some encouragement she got really into it...
like really into it...
then she started painting herself...
and being all cute and coy about it...
it then became old and she wanted to be (gasp!) held!
she was having no luck with us, so she would go back and paint...
paint and walk around trying to get us...in the meantime painting the deck with her tiny foot prints... it turned into a game of chase...haha. she was loving it. daddy finally got her and tried to wash her off in the sprinkler... but she would get loose and come for me...my sweet ad.
adelyn's masterpiece...
elena is experienced in our finger painting fun...
and she of course loves it...
she wastes no time to get to what she really loves about it....body painting.
she's very focused...
this year she even covered her back....impressive e.
and check out that green eyebrow...haha. i hope she doesn't realize she forgot her cheeks and shoulders and want to do it again. she was all about the cheeks and shoulders last year. (tear - she looks SOOOO little.) ok, she was all about everything last year too.
she enjoyed washing it off in the sprinkler just as much as putting it on...
loving every minute...sweet e...
elena's masterpiece...
this fun family tradition proves to be more and more fun every year...

i hope they never outgrow it...
