Every single day, Annie asks if we can go to a friend's house. Every day. We avoided a meltdown today by painting with watercolors with Kate at the kitchen table. The girls were playing so nicely together and having such a good time. They made gorgeous pictures for over an hour--an eternity for little kids!! I was feeling so pleased with them, I made a rookie move and ran upstairs to put some laundry away. A few minutes later, Annie was calling my name. When I got to the bottom of the steps, she immediately said "I'm sorry. Sorry Mom, I spilled some water." And that was the understatement of the month.
It was hard to get a picture to do the damage justice. The entire half of the table was covered, as was the surrounding and the wall a few feet away! Luckily, I had the forethought to make them wear aprons, so the girls themselves were dry. Also happily, Annie is old enough to help clean up! Kate tried, but of course, she slipped in the water and fell immediately. So she sat on a chair and watched.
