Dinosaur hands (sort of)

We’ve gone dinosaur crazy here, so for our painting this week we stuck to theme.

Master D turns everything into ‘dinos’ – he bent all of his lego people over ‘like crawling dinos mum’, and even his fingers and toes became dinos during a long drive 🙂 His dino craze inspired me to paint his hands into dinos (or try to anyway – check it out for yourself ;-)).

We found some face paint and used a foam paint brush to cover his hands in his chosen colours ‘a red t-rex and a black squawking one please’. Then we stuck on some googly eyes, before painting some sharp teeth and spikes. Since the dinos were already playing when I was trying to paint the details this did get a bit tricky!

We might try some other animals next 🙂

The foot files

Like most mothers I always have my camera close at hand. I want to be able to capture magical moments during my kids’ childhood. A while ago Master D (3) turned the tables and started taking the photos. After a quick lesson on using my camera he was happily snapping away and hasn’t stopped since.

Looking over his photos is always great fun. I’m constantly amazed at what he captures from his perspective. Photos looking up into the kitchen, the dining table, photos of me, his toys and, most consistently – his feet!

I don’t know why, but each time he is handed the camera at least one foot shot turns up. I’ve started keeping a ‘foot file’ of his cute lil feet. Check them out 🙂

I’ve even caught the feet photo bug and have taken some of Little Miss Q (in her super cute shoes):
