Lakeshore Learning!!!

I was contacted last week through my blog about a really fantastic store opening up this weekend in Indianapolis. Unfortunately, I can't make it down there this weekend, but I am just itching to get down there and explore! If you are around the Indy area, you should head in there today! There will be free crafts, product demonstrations, contests, giveaways, and 50% off some products! How fun is that! Did you know that during the summer break from school, students loose up to 2 months of the skills they just learned? Why not pick up a few things to help your kids retain that info over the summer, and have it be a really fun thing to do! Don't live near Indy? You can always check them out online at www.lakeshorelearning.com. As a special treat to my readers, they have offered you guys a great Buy 1 Get 1 50% off coupon!!! Just go to www.lakeshorelearning.com/bogo to use!

Here are some great pictures of the new store, provided from the company. Just looking at all the pictures, I am getting so excited to visit the store. Look at all that fun learning stuff!!

Finger Painting

After the day before and our fun painting experience I figured we could try out the finger paints (she says while shaking her head!). This was not exactly how I thought it would turn out. I did take the steps of putting plastic down on the table and putting them in clothes that I didn't mind having paint on. Well, I'll just let the pictures do the talking.....

The start of finger painting. Not too bad....

alright, getting a little bit more into it....

D just having a blast!

and then out come the dark colors....

and the mess begins...

hey, look, I can paint my arms, legs, face...

Sweet, I had puke brown!

Look mom, I am a mess!

This isn't even as bad as they got, it got a whole lot worse! I actually had to strip them down to their diapers and run them up to the tub. D even had it in her hair, ears, and eyes. It was bad! So the next time we do finger painting, it will be warm out, and the pool will be set up!
