Nathan’s parents came for a visit this week…and brought with them something I had been wanting Ellie to have, but just hadn’t gotten her yet. They brought with them, two paint with water books. Ellie has painted before, but I wasn’t sure if she had done one of these yet…and since I am semi-anal with things getting on my carpet and such I figured water is probably the safest thing to have her paint with in the house.

So, here is a picture of Ellie doing her first paint with water…

and here is a picture of the pictures after she “scrubbed them to death.”
