Alec & Catherine are polar opposites, each perfect representations of their gender. Today's example is: she likes things neat, he likes them messy. When we started allowing the children to pick out decorations to make trees, Alec was more interested in dumping the bowl on the table...4 times. Each time, Catherine would glower at him, then painstakingly pick them all up and put them back into the bowl.
Then, Hilary brought out the paint and a sense of foreboding filled me. At first, it was cute, he would put his hand in the paint and mix all the colors, Cat was clearly getting frustrated:
But, that wasn't enough, he decided it would be fun to paint things other than the ornaments:I would have been worried about the damage, but Hilary's the one asking him to say 'cheese' while she takes pictures of it & it was child-friendly, so it all wiped off!
I love Cat's face in this one, it's almost as if she's thinking, "Now, how am I going to clean this all up??"
I'm still up for an arranged marriage though, I think they compliment each other well and they're both so cute!

that is too funny! david has painted his chair and we just left it.
Looks like fun!
I will try and make it to my parents ward on the 14th.. as long as I haven't had the baby yet.
We had a blast, thanks for coming!!
That's so funny! Peter's a bit more like that too, although he does have a bit of fun when it comes to using a paint brush, and luckily does like attempting to draw all of his favourite things. I am glad he wasn't my first child though. I wouldn't have been very calm at all with it back then - no sense of calm creativity from him at all. Messy is too much fun!
That sounds like way too much fun! Sounds like Alec frustrates her a bit... :)
