"Mommy, can we print color pages?" she asks in eager anticipation. Inwardly, I sigh. I don't feel like doing color pages for the umpteenth time. I am running out of places to post these masterpieces when they are finished. Yet, her hopeful eyes brim with excitement. Reluctantly, I say, "Yes." and we gather around the computer to find pictures of horses, unicorns, donkeys, cows, and hippos that have not been colored already before.

I am posting this in participating with Project 52. I missed last week but here's this week! To see more great posts, visit the link below:
