"Rainy Day Fun"

Maybe I'm just crazy, but this was alot of fun yesterday.  It's been raining for the past few days and Elijah Brooks wanted to paint outside. We didn't have anywhere to paint outside, so I covered the kitchen table with butcher paper and let him go to town with finger-paint.  I quickly realized that the paper was tearing up because he was using so much paint and alot of pressure too.  Soooooooo - this was "Plan B", and I dare say, it was alot more fun than the first plan!  What a fun memory. 
And you know what, life's just too short to not have a little fun and make a little mess. 

His rules were 1. He had to stay in the bathtub, 2. He could not paint anywhere but inside the bathtub, and 3. He had to clean up after he was finished.  I am happy to say that he followed every single rule, so he might actually get to do this again!







Cleaning up the mess

I read recently that Michaelangelo started painting in the bathtub as well, so I am very hopeful.
