How Did Painting Get So Messy?

October 28th, 2008 by melissa

Nicole woke up a bit last night and ended up sleeping on the floor with me-ugh. We got up and got ready for pre school. The kids just love it there, and more so today as I was working. We had so much fun, Nicole followed me all around and did whatever I did. I was outside at the beginning and Nicole was playing all my games, parachute, red light-green light, simon says, etc. Justin was inside. Justin came out and then it was circle time. My craft was Halloween stamps. It was so fun watching my kids share. Nicole brought her Zoe puppet and Justin brought his sheep that Auntie Buffi gave him. It was a great morning at pre school. After we came home and the cleaners were still here, so we escaped. The kiddos played at the play area of McDonalds. They had fun! We came home to a clean house (I love it) and some of the kiddos stuff came for their party. Now I am getting excited. The kids built tracks together. I needed a break so the kiddos watched some TV, which they enjoy. Then we went to the grocery store to get some stuff, the kids helped push the carts of course. They are in such I want to help mode, so I am taking advantage of it. We came home and I promised the kids we could paint. So I decided to do it on the greenbelt, less messy. They have taken painting to a whole new level. They started painting their hands but it didn’t stop there-it went all the way up their arms. It was funny but messy. I got a picture of Justin before we cleaned him up and one of Nicole but it was after she cleaned herself off with wipes. I am really liking the new camera.

So we went up to the bath as that was the easiest thing to do. Daddy came home and we made dinner. Then the kiddos went outside in the backyard with their flash lights since it is getting darker earlier. They had fun in their place house. Then I was in the garage and came in with dif’t things on goggles, the nose from my bunny thing for my car..the kids were laughing so hard. They were on daddy and just grabbing daddy. Then I decided to put on my witch costume. They were loving it. Kept on telling me to get in my cage (the bathroom) and they would shut the door. So silly, we went upstairs and they hid in our closet. They were very playful tonight. Nicole and Justin brought all blankets and pillows to the spare room and said mom cry and we will wake up and make you ok. So this went on for a long time. I did love when they came running in the room to give me big hugs. Thankfully they both fell asleep pretty easy tonight.
