That is the question that I want answered. Ben and I stayed up kind of late, but then with being pregnant I wasn't able to actually get to sleep until 2am. So this morning was not one I was looking forward to. Ben took care of the kids so I could get an extra hour of sleep. I slept better during that hour than during the night.
I noticed that the kids were in their rooms, but didn't know why? So I asked Ben if they were in trouble. "Oh, yeah!" was his reply. He went to Emily's room first to show me her. I asked if they got into my stuff? For once the answer was no. I was relieved for a short bit. He would not let me see Emily until she had taken off her clothes to show me. So I was starting to panic, I thought they must have cut off her hair. I was relieved again I saw her head. Then I looked at her body. Her body was covered with something brownish, so my mom brain thinks Poop, Ben then had James answer my question "what was it?". Finger paint was the last thing on my mind.
After they all ate Ben watched tv for about 10 minutes which was long enough for the kids to cause trouble. The kids opened some finger paint and proceeded to get it over everything. I had a basket of clean clothes near by which were covered with the paint. So most of the paint went all over my clean laundry. Ben put the clean kids in their rooms then started a load of laundry. He was trying to take care of the mess before I got up, but the washing machine will only wash a certain amount of laundry at a time. He threw away all of that finger paint, and we're going to make the kids throw away the rest themselves. I know that they wont like that but they made their choice.
Right now he's going up to make them help him finish cleaning up their mess. So my question to you is... If these was your kids what would you do to punish them?
