BOY did we have FUN!!!!

....and man did we not prepare properly!
We did a little art project that would make great mother's day gifts.  
This is how things were supposed to go:
1.  Pick out a jar
2.  Finger paint on jar
3.  Let jar dry




This is what actually happened:
1.  Pick out a jar
2.  Finger & hand paint jar, paper, table, hair, and chair
3.  Let jar dry
4.  Wash hands
5.  Take bath

This is how it all looks:


David's hands after we finished painting











The table after we finished painting











David's chair is now labeled forever! 
We decided not to wash off his chair to help us know which chair is David's







This is what we should have done:
1.  Put paper on every surface we were working at
2.  Strip David and then put on his painting shirt
3.  Pick out jar
4.  Paint jar
5.  Let jar dry
6.  Wash hands
7.  Redress

I hope you learned a little something from our experience!
