Paint with Water

I often find it challenging to find activities to keep Ella entertained while doing school with Arin.  Today, I thought it would be fun for Ella to try painting with water.  Arin saw me get down the book, and she decided that activity seemed like much more fun than any school we would have planned.  So both of the girls had a great time painting together. 

Competition happens early between siblings.  Whenever Arin was finished with a picture and going on to the next, Ella thought she needed to get a new picture too, even if she wasn't finished with the one she was already working on.
