My daughter was begging to watch TV, on Sunday afternoon. I, on the other hand, didn’t think we needed to watch TV. I suggested reading, writing, playing dolls, playing a game, but nothing seems to spark my daughter’s interest. Finally, I got the watercolor paints out of the cupboard and sat down at the kitchen table. I had a little friend joining me in about 2 seconds flat.

We played around with the salt shaker and our watercolors too. I love the way the salt makes the watercolors look.

Is there anything prettier than new paints?

An hour later, a happy little girl helped me clean up.

Happy painting.
