My Door

For the month of January all the classes at school decorated their doors. The theme was "color." For some insane reason I thought that it would be a fun idea to paint my kids feet and have them walk all over these large pieces of paper . Then paint their chubby little hands and put their hand prints all over the paper. Then I was going to write something super cute and hang that on my door. Well, somehow my insanity did not escape me and that is just what I did, and I have to say that I have the cutest door in the whole school. My kids squealed with delight as I tickled their feet with my paint brush. They were a little scared at first to walk around with paint covered feet but soon grew out of their fears and I could not contain them. As a result I not only had foot prints on paper but all over my clean floor. Then I painted their hands, they loved having their hands painted, putting their hand prints all over the place, washing their hands and asking again to have their hands painted. It was a treacherous cycle that I feared would never end. But their smiling faces made it all worth while. I then stayed up late at night writing "You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have for instance."on the freshly painted paper. The end result was fabulous as you can see, and the process was fun, even if my room was a disaster, and I had to mop up a million foot prints.
