Belly Painting

It happens with each pregnancy in our home.

The inevitable belly painting.

This round it has happened multiple times

and by many people.

I thought you would enjoy seeing some of the

belly creations.

Here is Caleb painted in the womb.

He was a beach ball.

Round items usually work best.

In the past we've painted Bob from Veggie Tales,

a football (during the winter months), and 

Mr. Potato Head too.

Unfortunately, I cannot locate pictures of the others.

But for now you may enjoy these pictures of 

baby belly #5.

Here's my Dad from my point of view.

The girls helped too.

A daisy it is.

Sadie's creation used the initials of all the family members.

Kylie and her heart with an arrow through it.

Caleb, proud of the bad guys, a giant, and forts with

a fire truck that he painted.

And Micah painting over Caleb's painting.

On belly painting day, my artsy friend Jess stopped in

for a Dawson fix and joined in as well.

Truth is she could barely wait to get her hand on a paintbrush

and had to fend of my offspring while painting.

So here is the finished product.

All this to say, my belly has been painted

and I am presently ready to deliver a baby.

When he or she decides to come is unknown,

but I was thinking if I posted these pictures

it might somehow speed up the process.

Favorite thing

wearing Mat's sweatpants over this big belly.

They are the only thing that is comfortable anymore.
