a coke and a smile...

On Monday Lily woke up early so I decided to set up the paints and have fun creating with her.



We started by making some flags and she did great using my palate knife and  tearing all the paper to glue for the stripes.



After our flags finished drying I took them outside to take some fun red, white and blue pictures. I grabbed one of Spencer's empty Coke bottles from his room as another prop for Lily to hold.



She was quite intrigued with the bottle and started grinning from ear to ear.



After playing with it for awhile she asked for some milk so I ran inside to fill it up :)



Got milk???



A milk mustache and a Coke bottle are an unlikely combination 
but it seems to fit her well!



She was completely in her element and full of personality...



She checked out every inch of the bottle





Showed off her little toes :)



Then decided to try pouring the milk on top of her toes!! 
(drinking was over after this move :)



At this point the owl painting she worked on that morning was finally dry so I snapped a quick picture with the artist (I cut out the pieces but she did all the painting and gluing)



Pretty soon the heat started getting to both of us and she was ready to call it quits!



We headed inside for a picnic lunch on the kitchen floor with her favorite quilt.



Thankful for the brave warriors who are in the front lines every day fighting for our freedom and for the freedom we have in Christ.  


Happy 4th everyone!
