trucks + paint = messy fun

We have been sick. First it was RSV, which lasted for about a week. And now I've got some weird stomach virus that's knocked me off my feet for the past few days.

All of that sickness made for a week of restless indoor play. When Liam suggested paint, I suggested something even better:

I covered the table with craft paper, gave them each a plate of paint and a pile of trucks, and let them go for it.

They had a lot of fun. I had a few moments of peace without sibling squabbles.

As with all paint projects, it eventually turned to body paint.

And everything else paint.

But it was nothing a bath couldn't cure. And, really, washing trucks in the bath was just as much fun as the painting.

Even if it took a few rinses to get everything clean again. 

Sometimes I forget how much fun a big mess can be, especially on these snotty-nose kind of days.
