art project vs construction site

We decided to bust out Henry's new 'painting smock' for our afternoon art project today (after a full morning of the park, splash pad, and the beach with Henry's buddy, Harrison).  The plan was to make bubble paint, which of course I found on Pinterest!  All you do is put food coloring in bubble solution and then blow the bubbles onto the paper to make some beautiful artwork :)  As you can see here, all is well, we're making art!  And check out that fancy bubble blowing gun, too!

And we've had enough!  Take this paint smock off and give me my front end loader, please!

Come on, how can I possibly come up with an art project that would compete with THIS going on across the street.  Yes, we have our very own construction site right outside Henry's bedroom window, the boy was pumped (to put it mildly) when that excavator showed up today.

When the workers left for the day, all I heard the rest of the night was "more man (that's what he calls the workers), more dump, more fill, more dump"!  

Definitely his fav right now.....construction sites!
