Finger (Body) Painting with Pudding

I'm working on adjusting to being a (temporary) stay-at-home mother with both girls and coming up with activities for Kate. This particular project lasted 15 minutes and clean-up required much more (Kate, table, Kate, floor, Kate, etc.) This particular joyride happened while the girls and I spent a few days in Cheyenne with the grandparents. Please note Megan's look of absolute fear as she watches her big sister's masterpiece in progress.

Kate is a great big sister (knock on wood) and does a great job of entertaining herself when need be. This particular day she nestled herself in between the chair, wall and end table and read to herself (albeit upside down) for at least 15 minutes -- which is half the time it takes to nurse Megan. The other 15 minutes she spent harassing Carl.

I also would like to accept volunteers to teach me how to use my camera. The same camera (and person) took the photo of Kate and the below photo of Megan at three weeks? Why is one so good and the other so not?!
