When it snows...we paint

Since today we woke up to 3+ inches of snow, and it was melting faster than we could play in it, we painted. We started with water colors and moved up to thick paint. Shane and Myann were having so much fun, that I decided Anders needed in on the action. You ask how much work it takes to let kids paint, well 10 minutes of set up, 5 minutes of painting, and 20 minutes of clean up. Actually, Shane and Myann painted for 30 minutes, but Anders less than 5. It was well worth it, even the paint in my rug and on my shoes and on the floor.
