Paint Making

It was pretty rainy here a couple of weeks ago, so we didn't spend very much time outside. One evening, Cat kept begging to go play outside and I wouldn't let her. I was feeling like a pretty bad Mom, though, and after a while I finally gave in. We all went out to the front patio for outside time. As always happens, the kids had a great time doing whatever. On this particular day, that was "making pink paint."

The process was pretty simple.
1. Collect petals and leaves to tint the collected rainwater pink.
2. Stir with sticks.
3. Get eaten alive by bugs.

We stayed outside as long as we could stand it, at which time we went in to enjoy dinner bug-free.
