Do not try this in your home.

All I wanted was a short nap Sunday afternoon. I should have known this wasn’t a good idea but my selfish tired self thought if I could just get about 30 minutes of sleep I would feel so much better and be able to handle the rest of the day with a smile. So nap is what I attempted to do while I left Cade playing with Dad and Claire playing with her friend doing art. I did manage to fall asleep for a short time and when I awoke I found that my little artist had quite the good time while I was trying to sleep. For some reason only a 4 yr old can explain, Miss Claire and her friend decided splattering paint all over the kitchen would be a great idea. I was NOT of the same opinion. Especially since my laptop and camera and all the new school supplies I left on the kitchen table became works of art as well. All I really wanted to do was lose it over splattered paint.

My mom called at about the same time I discovered the mess and reminded me that some people make lots of money off incidents like this via America’s Funniest Home Videos and such, so I calmed down and decided to take pictures of the mess. Hopefully these pictures will encourage you if you should find yourself wanting to lose it over the messes your little blessing has made.

I did manage to get the paint splatters off the camera and most of them off the laptop, but then I put the two little Cinderella’s to work scraping their handiwork off the floor.

Cinderella 1 and Cinderella 2 did the best they could and then my mom came over with some paint remover stuff and finished up the job. It all came off the table and the floor eventually and all of us learned a valuable lesson.

The Cinderella’s learned they are NOT to EVER splatter paint all over the kitchen again and this tired mother learned to NOT take a nap while paint supplies are in reach of little people under 5 yrs old. So take note, do not try this in your home. Leave it to others who don’t have as much sense as you do:)

Sincerely,

Paige
