Daddy, can I paint??

Yesterday paint finally went up on the walls of our basement! We still have a long way to go - ceiling, carpet, trim, etc. - but it is starting to look like a real room instead of a huge mess. Shortly after Chris started painting (actually priming - we decided to have the primer tinted the same color as the paint), Jenna went downstairs to ask if she could paint. Chris decided she couldn't really do much damage since we don't have carpet, trim, or furniture down there, so he painted a square on the wall and told her she could paint within that area. She was so careful and was really enjoying it. She even said "I can just paint until supper. I don't need to take a break." And she did keep painting....until our neighbor came over about 10 minutes later to see if Jenna wanted to play. Priorities!
The paint color looks really yellow in these photos. It's actually a really pretty tan - not yellowish at all!
Getting instructions from Dad....

Look at that concentration....she always sticks her tongue out when she's concentrating!Her "finished" area....she finally quit and went to play instead...

That's great! You go, Jenna!! I want to thank you for letting her come with us to the game today. She is always such a pleasure to have and Kenzie loves her! We are so thankful for good friends!!!

That's funny! It looks kind of like my painting technique, too. I wonder if tongue sticking out is genetic, like her Grandpa D.
