What a day

[lnr]

Made brownies
Painted pictures
Made furniture with Matthew
Ate brownie
Went to the park and made sandcastles
Voted
Had lunch in the garden
Cut the grass and edged the lawn
Watched Matthew 'watering' aka drenching himself with hose
Finished making furniture
Tidied Matthew's room a bit into new furniture
Returned to find Matthew was doing more painting on his own...
... Using a pull-back car as a brush
Cleaned Matthew
Cleaned the wall
Cleaned the table
Washed the curtains
Cleaned the carpet
Played with playdough
Noticed Matthew was looking a little red about one ear and nipped to the chemists for sunburn advice for toddlers
Bought aloe vera and capri sun
Played with more playdough until Matthews tea was ready
Hoovered
Sorted out grocery order for tomorrow while Mike too Matthew up to bed
Ate curry
Filed paperwork
Spot cleaned bits of carpet
Checked and my phone is fixed and preparing to be returned to me
Put my feet up for a bit

I admire his creativity and independence but that's the last time I put the paints away in the box but leave the box on the table!

I'm sorry to hear about the paint-everywhere, but your done list did just make me laugh out loud on the tube. Mostly the list of actions beginning "clean..." after Matthew's independent painting adventure!

Me too :-) I Have Been There. (Not with a pull-back car painting brush, but certain Other Adventures my children have had.)

Glad it made you laugh - to be fair it did me too. And I was astonishingly not actually cross at all. Especially as it has actually all washed out :)

Oh now I want to know which ones :)
