What Was I Thinking?

I picked up some super cheap canvases at the dollar store today, and the boys channeled their inner Picasso's this afternoon.  They LOVED it;  I was a wreck.  Even when I put down two queen-sized sheets, took off their pants, and held the paint containers, they still got paint everywhere.  Thank goodness the Ikea paints are washable.  Gabe had minimal paint on him; Zach was covered.  When I wasn't hyperventilating about the mess, it was fun to see their different techniques.  Zach painted with a long, purposeful stroke that went off the canvas onto the sheet underneath.  Gabe's stroke was fast and furious.

Here are a few photos:
