The older kids are becoming pros at painting now. And Alan has learned to label where each child is painting to avoid territorial disputes.
With a smile that cute, you'd never dream that this child waited until after she was done painting to go lean right up against a wet wall of paint.
The only negative side to painting the room where we keep all of our books and school supplies is that you have to move them all somewhere while you are painting.
Yup, more books. These pictures represent only the main piles. After a few years of living in areas with lacking library facilities, we tend to buy a ton of books for the kids so that we can make sure they are exposed to the books we want them to read. In other words we don't stock up on the cartoon character of the week type books or the politically correct mumbo jumbo.
We still have two full cans of paint left so the question remains as to which room in the house will be tackled next.

Not all the character books are worthless. Some are pretty dang good and if it gets the kids to read better and keep them interested, I'm all for it. We still prefer the classics but I, too, enjoyed the Disney Princess books. Good Aesop's fables type story lines.
Pics of the kids are adorable!
