Baseball and Painting

We went to the park when it was sunshiny a few days ago and walked through the baseball fields.
(There are four fields)
Ellie saw some boys practicing with their dads on the empty fields and thought it was cool.
The next day she brought her hat (a fireman hat backwards), 
a bat (a pvc pipe from a marshmallow gun), and a ball (a miniature beach ball) to us and wanted to play.
It took us a minute to figure it out, since she had yet to learn it was called baseball, but we've had fun ever since!
Surprisingly....Ellie has swung and hit the ball a few times!
I think I truly might have a little tom boy on my hands!

Monday and Tuesday with the rain and tornado watch we stayed mostly indoors.
And an idea struck that HAD to be done!
Watercolor painting.
We headed over to hobby lobby to pick up some watercolors, watercolor paper, and canvas!
Then we had a blast!
Ellie and I tried our hand at abstract design using not only watercolors but Elmers clear glue and table salt!
Mr. Dawson did what he does best but did branch out and used the watercolors to color it in!
