"We were just. . .

painting a pretty picture, Mommy!"

While visiting our friends, the Castles, the 4 kiddos (Jocelyn, Kal, Carter, and Jensen) went downstairs to play. A while later, Kal came up the stairs looking like this:

The 4 adults ran down the stairs to find this:

(The black stuff is acrylic paint)

As we arrived at the bottom of the stairs, Jocelyn informed us they were "just painting a pretty picture, Mommy!" We all just sighed. The mess was way too big to worry about getting mad, so someone just suggested we get the camera! Then off to work--Brandon took care of the two babies upstairs, Brent started clean the carpet where Kal walked, Angie went for supplies and started cleaning, I manned the 4 kiddos in the shower. What a mess! The kids cleaned up nice, though!

I can't believe that all cleaned up. I don't know how I would have reacted to that, probably not as well as you did. They sure are cute kids thought!

Oh. My. Gosh. I don't think I would have had the presence of mind to grab a camera. My kids and the neighbors did the same thing with two containers of hair gel and I freaked out. It wasn't until later that I realized I should have snapped some pictures. Black paint!? Oh MY.
