Feelin' Patriotic

Yesterday (after all the water fun described on the previous post), we decided to have some fun decorating for Independence Day! First we made Wild Flowers (which, ironically, is the only thing I have pictures of).

When I told the girls we were going to paint, Noelle started yelling "Paint!" and found her chair immediately. It was so cute! (and kind of funny) She clearly enjoys painting as much as her big sister.
I let them paint a few coffee filters red...

And then the same amount blue.

While they were drying, I let the kiddos paint a few other coffee filters in red AND blue and we made them into butterflies that now decorate Melanie's room.

I used the red, blue, and some white coffee filters, and turned them into flowers.

Some of them decorated the living room, and the rest are decorating Melanie's room. Then I took some of their art work (with red and blue stars they painted) and turned them into Pin Wheels for some fun accents. It's just a start, but I'm enjoying my patriotic decorations (and they go really nicely with the framed art from Flag Day!) I think the girls like it too, because they made it all.

Thanks Girls, for decorating our house so beautifully for Independence Day!
