Art warming scenes! Kelly Rutherford takes her children painting in New York as she relishes having temporary custody of them
Kelly Rutherford seems to be making the most of every day with her children.
Having had them taken away from her once, she knows both the pain and the possibility of it happening again.
The 46-year-old spent another fun filled day with eight-year-old son Hermes and six-year-old daughter Helena in New York on Monday, knowing that she may not be able to again once the summer ends.

The actress is currently locked in a bitter custody battle with her ex-husband Daniel Giersch, who wants their children brought back to Monaco where he lives.
After being granted temporary sole custody of them by a judge in the tiny principality, the Gossip Girl star is determined to make every moment count while her kids are with her in the States.
On Monday she brought them to the Children's Museum of the Arts, where the siblings took a painting class, secretly snapped and shared by their mom on Instagram.

Stock up on the Birken's this summer like Kelly
Birkenstocks are making a come back and they're not considered fashion suicide anymore! Woohoo!
We reckon it's due to the designed slides.
Birken's have always been a comfy shoe, just not fashionable but now more and more celebs are rockin' the classic sandal.
Jessica Alba, Kelly Rutherford, Drew Barrymore, Miranda Kerr are just a small list of the celebs that have been pictured wearing the sandals.
Our favorite is the white 'Birko-Flor Madrid.' Which is what Kelly is rockin with chic cropped white pants and striped top. It's different from the classics because it's a single strap buckle...BUT that's what we like about it!
You can get similar one's as Kelly's for 69.95 at Birkenstock.com!
Pair these babies with a dress or cut offs, a tank, and blazer for a different loook.
Also, make sure to take a look at our style carousel below where we've got sweet picks from Tilly's, Charlotte Russe and more!
She continued encouraging their artistic side on Sunday with a visit to the Met museum.
'Is anyone looking at the art? #MetropolitanMuseum #minecraft,' she wrote below the snap, which showed her taking pictures of the paintings, while Hermes enjoyed more architectural forms of art on his iPad.

Is anyone looking at the art? She continued encouraging their artistic side on Sunday with a visit to the Met museum
On Thursday and Friday she had a less enjoyable couple of days as she took to the stand in an LA court to argue why her kids should be allowed stay with her in the United States.
The children have been living with Giersch on the French Riviera since 2012 where he moved with them after his American visa was revoked following the couple's divorce.
Kelly broke down in tears a number of times as she tried to counter Giersch's legal team's argument that she doesn't live in LA but in New York, and thus the Californian court does not have jurisdiction.
She argued that the main reason she rented an apartment in New York was to be half way closer to Europe, where she was forced to fly to see her children, which she claims eventually bankrupted her.
