A few days ago, the boys were over at their Great Grandma Beeler's house, and they were playing in the yard. Well, as it goes with Grandma's, the water was turned on, holes were being dug in the dirt, and low and behold, the boys unearthed this HUGE rock! They actually dug it out themselves and pulled it out of the ground! They were SO incredibly proud of themselves, and I could tell, even underneath the dirty smiles and clothes - lets just say the pre-spot treatment went to good use on those clothes!
They were so proud and wanted to bring this rock home to put somewhere. Ian pulled it in the wheelbarrow from Great Grandma's house, and even washed it off with water before he brought it home too. Ian and I decided that we would put it out in the flower bed right by the driveway, and that when it was all dried off, I'd let the boys paint something on it! So today was the painting!
Getting Started...
Luke has a very 'hap-hazzard' way of painting... goes with his personality I guess!
Ian on the other hand was very neat and orderly, and composed his masterpiece with pride.
In the end, we all are represented here on this rock. Even notice the paint splatters on the table where Luke was, then see where Ian was... hilarious. So true to who they are! Now that it's done, I will seal it so it won't wash off in the rain, and set it back outside for all to see! Great job boys!
