The art annex...

We took things that had been on our back porch over the summer & pulled them into the basement - rugs, a chair, his tricycle and most importantly his easel. Then we strung some twinkle lights and now we've got a mini play area set up in the basement. He LOVES painting - so much that we have already made multiple trips to the neighborhood art supply store for paints and he CRIES when we tell him its time to pack up and come back upstairs. Everybody's chanukah presents are wrapped in monito originals too - we're all about the recycling.
