While Gene and Eric were on vacation, Draco was staying with Tommy and Paul. He loved playing with his friends, especially Mady and Aurora. Whereas Taylor and Hannah liked being outside, Mady and Rory preferred indoors. Draco liked swimming and playing in the sandbox but that was it. He much rather being inside. 

Tommy had taken Taylor and Hannah to the putt putt golf course while Paul was in his art studio. "Dra, would you like to paint with me?" asked Paul. "Mady and Rory are in there."

Draco nodded his head and took Paul's hand. He was given an old t-shirt to wear before Paul put him in front of an easel. After being shown how to dip his paintbrush, Draco started painting. He made circles on the canvas. Using mostly pastels, he filled up the space soon. "Unca 'au', 'ook!"

Paul looked over at the painting. "Very pretty Draco." "Let it dry and I'll frame it later. Do you want me to put the date on it and sign your name?"

"Yeth!" Draco asked for another canvas. "Dis one for daddy! De udder one for mama!" 

Paul signed Draco's name to the first one in the corner and wrote the date on it. He had a few frames to show Draco. The little boy chose blue for the first painting. He wanted red for the second.

By the time Tommy came home, the art studio was filled with paintings in various stages of drying, some framed and some not. "Wow, somebody's been busy." laughed Tommy. He looked at all the paintings. A paint covered Mady pulled on Tommy's pants leg. He bent down to see what she needed. The little girl held up a picture for him. Rory held out one also. Tommy took both of them and picked up the girls. 

Carrying them to the living room, Tommy cleaned them up before hanging the pictures up. He put one of Draco's up too.
