Painting Disaster

The kids wanted to paint. I thought I was being clever by asking them to paint by the tile floors instead of the carpeted floor. It will be easier to wipe away, I thought. Uhmm...well, I gave them acrylic paint instead of water based tempera paint. Very smart Mommy! I had to scrape off the paint from the floor. Lesson? Always use newspaper to cover your work area. ALWAYS!!
