Whoever first came up with the idea of "painting" using only brushes dipped in water is a complete genius. Genius.
Trevor really, really wanted to paint after school today, and I really, really, really didn't want to deal with anything remotely messy. So we got out the brushes and the water. The kids had a go at the concrete. Then, they moved on to the windows.
Clara noticed that as she painted, the sun shone through the water, and her designs magically appeared on the blinds inside the windows.
A photo doesn't really capture it (or at least
I couldn't capture it...at some point I should probably read the camera manual), but we were all pretty excited to discover this new art form.
Eventually, Trevor moved on to painting toenails. Again, water beats nail polish any day of the week. No contest. This is particularly true when a four-year-old is involved.
It's hard to think of a better way to spend a Thursday than sitting in the backyard, water-painting in the lovely afternoon sun, with kids so busy enjoying themselves that they forget to start attacking one another.

We love painting with water too! Usually everything ends up getting washed... bikes, windows, each other..! But hey, it's just water, right?
