hurly_burlySo, we tried to have a sleep in this morning (until 7am! What luxury!), and our punishment was being woken by a small girl beside the bed:
Small Girl: "Mummy, I just need a cuddle." *gets into bed, all cold feet and snuggling*
Small Girl: "Please please can I do some painting?"
Me: "After breakfast, maybe. Where are your pyjama trousers?"
Small Girl: "They're too messy."
Me (in some trepidation): "How did they get all messy, boo?"
Small Girl: "They got paint all over them."
Oh dear. Oh bollocks. Yes, there was paint on her jamie bottoms. And her little table. And several pieces of crockery. And a glass flip-top jar. And the carpet. And her play fort. And her baby doll. And on several of the Schleich princesses. And now it's on me, because I had to try and clean it up. And it's all over her (including smeared around her eyes from the crying). Serves me right for accidentally leaving poster paint in a backet behind the armchair. I think Sunday will see a big and serious clean-up of the living room. Yes it will.
*sighs, and goes back to scrubbing*
