Summer Nights

We've been spending a lot of time on our front porch this summer for a few reasons: 

1) Our backyard gets the afternoon sun and it's too hot to be back there, and

2) Eli is pretty contained because our porch sits up on three brick steps which he doesn't really try to go down (I think because he fell off them a few months ago) 

Here's how we spent our evening last night...

Painting!!!!!  Eli loves to paint.  

As you can see, a lot the fun of painting is not painting on paper, but on himself.  

Now I get out my crayons...

I'm in trouble - Dad put me in time-out!

Showing my patriotic side.  ;)

Finishing my night with an evening stroll with Mom.
