Painting the Front Porch

Last week I spent several morning scraping the paint off my front porch.  Isaac and Isabella helped just enough to find out that it was not a very fun job.  Instead they started asking when can they help paint.  I told them they couldn't help prime since it was oil based paint.  However, today we put the latex second coat on and they were ready to help out!  I figured that an old hand me down KU shirt was the perfect shirt for Isaac to get a little paint on!
My little helpers helping!
The rule was to use a LITTLE paint on your brush.
Isabella was the first one to stop painting. 
She decided that there was not another brush she wanted to try out.
Once Isaac went to play in the sandbox with Bella I started painting a lot faster!
However, they both did fairly well, with no major paint spills on them, each other, me, the house, or the concrete.
