finger painting

today we hung out in the pool for a little bit before it got too hot lol.  it was relaxing and fun. scarlett loves getting zoomed around in her little tube.

we went straight from the pool to the tub to paint! i had made some finger paint earlier, which was so easy and quick!

i mixed 1 cup of flour and 2 1/2 cups of water in the pot over low heat until it thickend a little. then mixed in a couple table spoons of salt. then let it cool before adding the food coloring. 

finished product! it was pretty gooey, i think i left it on the stove too long. but over all it was awesome! next time i will make more and keep the extra in squeezable bottles.

my favorite part is that i know exactly what's in it and it's edible! since scarlett puts everything in her mouth.

my sweet girl.

she was a little unsure at first until i showed her what she could do and then she was all about it. it was a blast until clean up time! she did not like when i turned the water on to clean up. i had to hold her while i washed her off...poor thing was not happy. i think the fact that it was nap time had something to do with that. so guess what we did next...NAP!

we had a good day :)
