Going GREEN - painting at Ella's...

This morning we went to Jess & Ella's to paint canvas bags!!! Woo-hoo - what fun! Okay, why you ask? Well my New Year's resolution was to be GREENER... I've sucked Jess into this too, I mean we really should consider how we leave the planet, the girls will have to live here, and their children too! Or hopefully their children:-)

So Jess & I have faithfully been using our canvas bags at the grocery store - every once in a while I forget & other than its probably just as bad to drive all the way home to get them - spewing gas fumes into the air, I would go home and get them. I have been doing better - like 9 times out of 10 I remember. But I thought Grace NEVER forgets (unless you don't want her too!) but if she had a bag of her own she would TOTALLY remember!

So off to Jess's we went where the girls painted their own bags:-) It was funny b/c what ever Grace had Ella would then decide she wanted it. I honestly think if Grace said, "I want to smear poo all over mine, Ella would have said - NO its my poo I'm smearing it!" They were too funny! Eva on the other hand was happy playing and just wanted to be part of what the girls were doing. She did get to paint a little, until she decided she wanted to put the paint in her mouth - then I had to cut her off (even though it was non-toxic). So then I helped her finished, Jess thought her bag was the best... go figure!

All in all it was a GREAT morning!

Below are pics of Grace painting & her finished bag:
