Memories Captured- Painting on the Table Cover

 Alison of Mama Wants This and Galit of These Little Waves are hosting a wonderful link up called Memories Captured. The challenge is to find a picture of your children and/or family had place words on it describing that moment.





Two weeks ago I told you about how JDaniel and I were painting a bear for Read.Explore.Learn. I wanted the bear brown and JDaniel wanted him green, black and blue. Since it was his bear to paint, he painted it the colors he asked for. It really came out well!







After painting the bear, JDaniel asked if he could use the remaining black paint to finger paint on the newspaper that we had used to cover the table.

"I haven't finger painted in forever," JDaniel said.

"Sure, you can!" I replied.

He had the best time painting with his fingers. I decided to capture the moment and I am so glad I did. The picture I took turned out to be perfect for this challenge.
