Ok, ok...so I should know this right? I am on child #3 after all...that should entitle me some insights into the inner workings of a child's mind. Right? Hmmmm, you would think so.So I'm chatting away with my Mom on the phone...in my pj's...(it's just one of those days) & I tell her, "Oh it is so nice, the kids are playing so well together today. Z just pulled out the water colors & they are painting."
How precious...how peaceful, a camcorder moment, as brother & sister enjoy the pleasures of painting....together....amicably...WOW!
Surely I can run into the office to check out a blog or two as I continue to chat on the phone! Of course, what could go wrong, I'll only be gone a minute or two......
or ten.
Fast forward two, five, ten minutes...who knows....& YIKES!
Fast forward two, five, ten minutes...who knows....& YIKES!
"Oh no!"
"OOOOOOHHHHH! What happened to just using water colors?!?"
"OOOOOOHHHHH! Who found the tempura paint!?!"
"OOOOOOOHHHHH! Where are the paint brushes?!?"
"OOOOOOHHHH! What is that on the baby's mouth!?!"
Lucky for my children, being a blogger has made me a tad more reflective these days...so I take a breath, grab the camera & document the festivities.
Needless to say, the tempura paint has been hidden away...only to return when Mom is a little less....uhhhh.....distracted. :)
