Crappy Weekend Weather...
means Mommy needs to get creative.
It's actually hailing today, which it rarely does, and while it's fun for me to sit and watch the hail collect, Avery doesn't agree. She wants to do something. Anything.
So, we got a little creative indeed. I broke out the 99-cent watercolor paints and away we went.
Avery was most interested in the water, and wanted to keep picking it up, so we'll work on the actual painting. She did manage to get paint on paper several times, but only because I held her hand. She wanted to stir the blue water over and over and over again. Silly child.
Yay for 99-cent watercolors.

I am jealous. If I tried to do such an activity on my nice carpet, I can only imagine what the results would be!
Looks like you guys had a great time! Good creative thinking.

Wow! If teaching doesn't work out, you can always fall back on water painting. LOL!
