Lowered Messpectations

Recently the toddlers discovered the joys of finger paint. Of course, I know it was going to get messy. Here is the messpectation set by Crayola:



Unrealistically low, no? I knew it was going to be messier than that! But, we started off in pretty clean territory.




Then a certain little princess who shall remain nameless decided to take things up a notch...
Why, yes, she IS rubbing red pain into her hair like shampoo...


The boy? Not so much...
He thought he wanted to do a hand print, until the paint was on his hand, then he just wanted it off.

I talked him into doing a hand print anyway.

What was our little mess maker up to?
Her shoulders. She was up to her shoulders in paint.

Then she decided to make a hand print on the boy:
Game Over

And we had seconds to make it to the tub before reaching Defcon 4.
