Day 8:

Water Play

Oh man, when I woke up this morning and saw water play, my heart sank. This was a challenge I did NOT want to do. It sounded messy and I really did not want to clean up a huge watery mess. Luckily, the weather was gorgeous outside so, I brought the water outside and the girls had a blast.

I brought out one huge bowl of water, one big empty bowl and a few little empty bowls

We mixed some food coloring but that lasted only a few seconds

The girls were having more fun just pouring the water from bowl to bowl

and 

pouring it all over the table

All the water on top of the table made a little waterfall!

Some sidewalk chalk was thrown into the mix

and

suddenly, we were art-eests!

If you soak the chalk in the water

then rub it on the ground

it will make a nice paste that's perfect for painting with

We poured water all over our chalk paintings

and

started all over again!

Thank goodness I put play clothes on them

they were soaked

and

 I guess I wasn't wet enough

when I was bending over to draw on the ground

Alexis slapped me on the back with a super soaked washcloth

then she laughed and laughed and laughed

(stinker)

Did you play with water today!? Join the challenge, it's not too late!
