…all they want to do is paint.
Even though it’s 8pm on a weekday, and though they just painted 2 nights ago, we take out sheets and paper, and do just that, again.
It’s messy. The acrylic gets on walls, the table, under their fingernails. But it’s fun precisely because.
I try to hold myself back from going ‘Ahhhhhhhhh! Don’t touch that with those hands!!” (but fail). I clean the walls, the table, scrub out their hands (and elbows, face, the thumb-that-will-be-sucked, and armpit – don’t ask).
I tell myself, just sear this image of glee in your mind.
It does make up. For the now. For ever.
Gosh, you good mummy! The kidzes love painting too! Especially Shawna! But I’m still like “er… on Saturday morning then we paint, can?” hahaha
I DID try that! also “but we just painted two nights ago, right?”.
