Chillaxing and Painting...

 

Last weekend, whilst I was supposed to be chillaxing at home, I ended up painting and relaxing at our local church's Samoan Early Childhood Aoga (school).

That was with of the educators and board members just getting some last-minute things ready for some special guests that will be arriving during the week (but that's another story).

What I find so relaxing about painting is that you can be multitasking (as we women do) by having a conversation and painting at the same time, punctuated with the occasional joke and laughter (especially if you're Samoan).

I especially liked the colour scheme which one of our board members came back with and this colour palette is very appealing and uplifting when taking into account what it looked like before. We also had family members support in the painting with my beloved and middle child.

Now we can look back with pride at the outcome and it's just so amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do to a playground. We also brought some new toys for the children and just brought back some good old memories about when I was a kid and the laughter and fun we had with our favourite toys. Now to have a test run with the children of the Aoga...
