Bath Art

Tonight's bath was a BLAST!

My children LOVE the bath. Even Titan seems to understand what is going on when we start the bathtub. He starts kicking his legs like crazy. The bath is a sanctuary in our house. It means that everyone is in one place, usually happy, getting clean and enjoying each other. We tend to save our bath nights for the nights that Daddy is gone. It is something fun to do and takes up usually an hour! I love it, they love it, everyone wins.

My children love to play with shaving cream in the tub. They have been painting their toys with shaving cream lately so tonight I grabbed the paint brushes and the food coloring. The result was pure genius....The colors were a lot bolder in person.This intense concentration lasted a long time. They painted everything and so carefully and so quietly. It was such a fun activity. I had fun mixing the colors for them and it was fun to watch their faces as a little drop turned a whole cup of shaving cream a bright color.As I was mixing up the first cup of "paint" I got a little nervous. I got a little dot of food coloring on my fingers and it quickly stained. At that point I was in too deep to turn back but I keep expecting them to start turning colors. They didn't turn into rainbows but my fingers are still dyed. So, I'm running into a bathtub dilemma.

My 4 kids will not fit in the bathtub. Titan is outgrowing his little tub. I usually just place it outside of the big tub with towels underneath it to catch the water splashing out. My problem is that T is not quite ready to roll with the big kids, nor is there room for him in the already crowded tub, and I LOVE having them all bathe together. Like I said earlier, it is such a wonderful hour in the evenings so WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WHEN TITAN OUT GROWS HIS LITTLE TUB????

I realize that at some point Myla will need to stop bathing with the boys and Quinn could start taking a shower but I don't want to give up bath time.
Isn't this cool? So much fun. There was one downfall with food coloring in the bath, look at the water...
I'm not exactly sure if they got clean but they had a blast. Totally recommend this! We will for sure do this again, fun is way more important that getting clean! I'm one blessed momma!
