The kids are really good at keeping themselves entertained. Granted, the results may not be expected and/or desired. Example: while I was at church this am (kids still sleeping!) and Ross was still in bed, they woke up and decided to play finger paints. Thankfully, they decided to do this in the bathtub, which I was very excited about. "What a good decision!" Hey, maybe this won't be too bad!
Then I went into the bathroom to check it out.
1) It was an effing DISASTER; paint was everywhere.
2) This was not finger paint. It was tempura paint. Much harder to scrub off.
So I armed them with scrubbies and baking soda and told them to get busy. And I armed myself against the complaints, which were predictably numerous. This is what I get for encouraging creativity.
I thought about taking a picture, but didn't want to appear to be enjoying their misery. So instead, here's a picture of their other activity for the morning: getting their own breakfast. They were in the middle of this when I got back from church. Note their angelic expressions. This was before I knew about the painting. Note also the little pile of raisins to the side. Apparently, they don't like raisins in their Raisin Bran.
