third handprint

it's time to get crafty again.  my nostalgic tendencies got the best of me a couple years ago when i saw an idea online about measuring our son as he grows.  its a six foot board that he makes a handprint on every year as he goes to school and it shows how he gets bigger and bigger.  i was pretty excited about it because i found the idea before he started preschool, so we were able to start right at the beginning!  well, it's time for another school year to start, so that means it's time for another handprint!  he loves doing this each year because he gets to play with paint and make a good old fashioned mess!  this year he picked green while we were at the craft store, so we poured some out on a plate and had him stick his hand in it and put it firmly on the board- handprint number three!  after we did the required print, he went nuts putting paint all over himself, making a fine mess to annoy his mother...  he soon was thrown straight into the bath, but not until he had done a good job of making himself as much of a little green boy as he could!
