Painting Outside


It was another beautiful day here and so we went outside as soon as we were done with breakfast to enjoy it. Mama brought out the easel onto the deck and the kids had fun painting with watercolors and drawing with chalk on the chalkboard. Since we were outside, Mama didn't have to worry about the kids making a mess...if they spilled anything it was no big deal.


As you can see from the concentration on Stella's face, she takes her painting very seriously!

Stella painted a beautiful rainbow circle.

She also filled in colors if Mama drew the outlines of flowers for her.

Des started out painting the watercolors and his definition of painting meant dipping the paint brush in the water and then the paint over and over without much painting on the paper.

Des then thought it was fun to paint his sister.

After that, he moved onto the chalkboard.

Then he got the brilliant idea to paint the chalkboard with water. So silly, but it kept him very happy and that's all that matters.
