A Lesson in Painting

(Hold on to your hats, folks, this is gonna be a cute one...)

So Andy has been working diligently on sprucing up our laundry room - to my very particular specifications.  A coworker of his redid his kitchen and gave us his old cabinets for free, so Andy repainted and put new hardware on them.  He's mixed up the perfect color of teal for the walls and even moved around some of the appliances to make a more functional space.  Now it's time to paint the trim before we replace the awful linoleum on the floor with slightly less awful linoleum.  Hey, we've got like a $5 budget to work with over here.  Anyway, he thought that this would be a good time to teach Ellie to paint.  The walls are getting repainted anyway and the floor is getting ripped up, so it really didn't matter how messy she was about it.  So, I give you Painting with Daddy 101...

A little baby yoga while Daddy gets more paint on the brush.

She was really concerned about her toes being dirty.

This one was Daddy's idea.

And it only took a 30 minute bath to get all the paint off!  Maybe someday soon we'll try full-body finger-painting :-)

Update: my dad just reminded me of one of MY first painting lessons just a few years ago...
