The summer of paint

 This bucket of water and four $0.99 brushes have occupied the kids most of the summer.  Noelle finds the bucket anywhere we hide it in the garage and asks -no demands us to put water in it for her.  They paint and clean the rocks, they paint the bricks and the flower pots.  They get chalk wet and draw on the sidewalk.  They draw on the sidewalk and then use the brushes to blend the colors.  Seriously people.  hours and hours...

This scene happened after we got back from Colorado.  When we were at Red Rocks we saw a lady painting, she had an easel and paints the whole works.  She also had an umbrella she was using to shade herself?  So this is their recreation.  They have the chalk, the bucket of water and brushes all tucked under their umbrellas.  So funny and creative!
