The kids decided to start working on their new window project. It's not even remotely close to finished but I decided to snap a couple pics yesterday. They're going for a garden sort of theme I guess, lol. It was Easter stuff until now.

This is the big tree and a rainbow, though the tree isn't actually done, this is just the base of what they intend to do, I am told(that's why the top looks kinda funky, lol)



A mushroom and some flowers-again, not even remotely finished



And this is up above the flowers and mushroom, but also, not finished



They still have birds, more clouds, animals, insects and other plants to add-at least that's what they've said.
I absolutely love having huge windows in the front, for this reason. They've always colored on them(using window markers mostly, but also paint, chalk, crayon, etc...) I have always loved their art too, but now they're getting older the art actually has a theme, lol. If you could see the flowers closer, you'd see each one uses at least three colors(and a couple of the colors a couple of different shades each).
We have a neighbor who hates it, but, then he's a bit of an idiot so we don't much care. Not like the kids are painting the house, lol(though truth be told, we need it BADLY, and it's on our to do list this summer).

Oh and those weird hues are coloring that WAS on the outside, but they were in the middle of washing it off when they had to come in and eat. It's not there today, lol.

Neighbor, schmeighbor. As long as you don't have HOA violations to deal with, do whatever you want! Good job, kiddos!

That is tempera paint. We mix it with a little bit of soap which just makes it easier to remove later on down the road. You don't really need to use the soap, though. Just makes the washing step easier.
