One of the gifts the kids did for their paternal grandparents for Christmas, was this apron set. We found the denim aprons right at our favorite place….Michael’s Arts & Crafts. Then, we just picked up acrylic paints in the colors we wanted. Their grandparents are both FANTASTIC cooks (they even make their own pastas), and take turns in the kitchen cooking, or cook together. So we thought this idea of an apron set, with the kids hands and feet prints, would be cute for them. I only took photos the night we did feet, which was first. The kids had a good time, and never stopped smiling and giggling.
First, we coated the bottom of a foot really well with paint. You need to work quickly though, because it starts drying pretty fast.
They stepped on the apron with their painted foot, putting their weight on it. Then they lifted their foot off the apron, going straight up!
Then they went hopping off to the tub, to wash their foot.
Our kids are color coded (from the triplets birth), so their grandparents would know anyway, whose prints were whose.
They all giggled from the tickles, while their feet were having paint put on – you might notice the firm grip on this ankle, because for some…
…it was practically torture!!!
But didn’t they come out so cute??
I wanted to keep them for myself. lol
But, I knew the kids would be HAPPY to do it again sometime.
Now, on to a related topic: I’m not sure if anyone happened to notice the yellow on our boy’s cheek in this photo we showed above? :
That’s from a couple of days before. I was out on a job, and when I came home and walked in, they all came running in to meet me with excitement. That’s not unusual. But they wanted to show me what their big sister spent quite awhile doing for them….
She did face painting for them. I was impressed with her work!! {S and O} got something on each side of their face. {S}, above, got that puppy on one side….
…and a bumble bee on the other.
{O} chose a unicorn, and…..
…a flower.
{J} just wanted a dolphin.
And then {A} did her own arm!
She always has such creative ideas to spend time with them, and they LOVE it!
They are blessed to have her as their big sister.
Well, that’s it for this edition! Dang….that took me a long time to get together! lol. We sure hope you enjoyed it, and perhaps it sparked some inspiration for you, or an idea of your own!
See you soon!!
