Friends & Messes

This morning Bonnie Jean called me to see if we could set up a play date for these two adorable cuties! When I told Luke Kalia was coming he was thrilled, and got busy thinking of all sorts of things they could do together! At the top of his list (and hers as we found out once she arrived) was playing outside. Friends who love to play outside might be my personal fav. The only problem was Elle. She was oh so tired and we have still not gotten monitors for her. Since she sleeps in our room it hasn't really been a necessity. 
 Well after I got her to sleep and laying down by herself (miracle alert) I rigged up Ethan's iPod and my phone to face time. Then we headed outside! Then Kalia invited Luke over to her house and of course he wanted to go. So off they went.
 When Bonnie Jean was dropping Luke off to me we took 3 of hers because she needed the other 2 for a few errands. It was shortly after this picture was taken that all the children headed upstairs to play. Brian and I had been planning to paint the bathroom and so we had all our painting supplies in the hallway. Luke decided it would be a good idea to use the paint can to boost himself up to reach the top bunk. Well he didn't reach it, but he did slip off the can which resulted in the lid popping off and paint spilling out ALL OVER the carpet. I used the shop vac to suck up all the paint up and then got to scrubbing. Then Bonnie Jean arrived with her other 2 children so I headed downstairs to visit with her and see if they wanted any dinner. 
 I think it was not long after this picture was taken that Alyssa and Olivia came running downstairs COVERED in paint! I had left the shopvac up in the room and Luke use the hose part as a sword which whipped all the still wet paint all over them and the room! 
It was quite a scene! I hate when messes like that happen that could have been avoided by ME! Those are the worst! I hate it when I don't learn my lesson the first time! HA
