Art Project at the Ellis' House

Kim and I have been fortunate enough to buy our FIRST NEW BED here recently.  Naturally, since we got a new bed, we had to get a new comforter etc.  In hopes of making a house a home we were trying to spruce up our bedroom.  We haven't done much in there because we wanted to see what kind of bedspread we ended up with.

I am not sure the last time you went shopping for nice things to hang on the walls, but it is flat RIDICULOUS!  Those folks at Kirkland's are nuts if they think I am paying THEIR prices for what they call, Fine Artwork.

Anyway, thanks to an Episode of Jon and Kate+8, we decided to take matters into our own hands.  We spent about $30 on canvas, paint, brushes etc.  I tore some leaves and twigs off of the local plant life and we went to town on what is one of my favorite parenthood moments.  We made 4 paintings in all and I think ours are better than anything Kirklands has.  Enjoy.


Jax before he realized what was going on.

This is him trying to figure out why in the world his foot is being painted.

This is where I started getting nervous.
