Seriously?

Alright, I know this is getting old to hear about (especially for me), but this really is my life... constantly. I promise I'm not a completely careless mom (yes a little bit, but not completely), but seriously, I should be able to turn my back every once in a while, right?

Apparently not.

Common questions some may ask:

1) Blue paint?

- Yes, royal blue (permanent) paint that I usually hide in the preschool closet, but had just taken out about 10 minutes earlier for a project.


2) Where were you?

- I was happily listening from downstairs to my two girls playing so well together.


3) How much damage was done?

- A very large stain on the carpet (luckily only upstairs), a permanent hand print on the preschool rug, 1 white shirt of Kyle's gone, one very cute outfit of Licity's gone, one not so cute outfit of Maci's gone, a bit of blue smudges on the new leather couches and a few blue specks on every other wall in the house, oh yeah, and that cute white dress Maci wore for her 10 month pictures, yes that too has blue on it...other than that, not so bad. :(


4) How did you manage to take pictures?

- Even I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I saw poor little Maci. She was completely thrilled with all the attention.


5) How did you get it off?

- A couple extra rinses and a little more scrubbing and it wasn't too bad- although, they both have a bit of a blue tint to them and my tub has a permanent blue ring.


Really, I should have seen this coming. Licity's has been into painting herself lately but up until now it's only been with food. A couple weeks ago I found both her and Maci completely covered in ranch dressing (hands, arms and face) and then last week Licity had painted herself with applesauce (I could see this becoming a pattern, so I took a picture of that one).

All I can say is, what a wonderfully creative child I have and I feel so lucky to be her mommy!!(That sounded sincere, right?)
