Rainbow Tree

For some reason I love rainbows.  Maybe it's because I had a childhood cat named Rainbow.  Maybe it's because my mom's Chevelle from when I was little had an awesome rainbow sticker on the rear window.  Maybe they're just super cool.  Whatever, I love them.

St. Patrick'sDay has brought a slew of rainbow themed crafty things to do on Pinterest.  With yesterday's 60 degree March day in Minnesota we decided to head out and rainbow-ify the tree in our back yard.  I read about doing this using chalk that's been soaked in water so we pulled some old yogurt containers and soaked some sidewalk chalk before naptime so we could go out when everyone woke up.

The result was pretty cool and I imagine we'll be doing more of this as the weather warms up.

After a while we ended up in the driveway making sharks and turtles and ducks and "A"s and "E"s.  Em helped a little, but mostly sat on the edge of the driveway drinking water while wearing her necklace.  This kid has totally stolen my heart.  Look at those eyes!
