my little painted ladies

I have not been feeling well lately, probably the same kind of stomach bug that's been going around town for quite some time, and a headache to go along with it.

I got up yesterday, unwillingly, and headed in to talk to Matt who was now home from work and my sister called telling me that I'd sent her some wierd email which later turned out to be a bigger deal- I'd unknowingly opened up an attachment in an email from a friend and now a virus was attacking our computer and sending emails out to everyone in my address book, my sister included. We later found out that it was a Trojan Horse and we are trying to get rid of it still.

Anyway, back to the point of this post. I pulled out the kids' watercolor paints and some paper and let them be creative for a while until I heard laughter and shrieks and saw as they ran to the bathroom to get a good look at themselves. I guess they'd decided that their paper canvases were too limiting so they'd turned to paint on themselves- their arms and hands and faces and hair.

I was tired and not feeling well and figured that since it was just watercolor paint it wasn't a big deal so instead of getting frustrated I grabbed the camera and let them have some more fun before putting all 3 girls in the tub. At least it was just paint...do you remember when Hailey used a purple marker all over that didn't come off? Yeah, that was not fun. This washed off pretty quickly though I think that Hailey still has a little bit of blue on her eyelid.




poor Aimee has a bad cold, too. 


They had so much fun being clowns they thought it would be fun to get ALL dressed up. 

Have a great day!
