Let's call it art!

The time has come to paint the children's room. We allowed them to pick out their paint with just a little bit of guidance from us. Then, after all the prep work, Superman got a chance to paint his own room. He had a great time! But, everytime that he got a spot of paint on him, he stopped painting to go get a wipie to clean up. I tried to explain that we would clean up when we were done, but he wouldn't have any of that! This blue that he has chosen is called "Artesian Water." The color is very similar to the blue painter's paint. Imagine that all over the walls. It is quite bright, and it even appears to be glowing off of the walls in the hallway. I sure do hope that with a second coat and the blinds back on the windows, that the glowing goes away!

He has already done quite a bit of the wall here.

Let's see how high I can reach!


As most of you know, Superman likes things to be done in a certain way. This did come in handy because he made sure that his painting met up with my painting so that it would be "one big blue."

This is the art of it! Superman is very proud of his long, straight stripes.
