I just throw a big plastic mat down on the table first (one of those Happy Birthday door signs, it's lasted for years already) and then I don't care :).
So can you even see any of the front of your fridge or is it all covered up already?

I am so week to those powerful little smiles and please momma's from my sweetie.
It looks like they are having so much fun. I'm with Jean if you got 20 minutes of not getting food, no entertaining, breaking up scuffles and the millons of other things the "need" in a day.... it was totally worth it:)
Oh my....you are brave!!! Our Matthew writes all over everything with crayons....can't even imagine what he would do with paints!!! I think it will be a long time before we find out!! :)
you are a good mommy! look at those smiles!! i had a friend who was so proud to not have play-doh in her house and having raised 3 kids! i thought - how sad. looks like fun! Next, get cool whip and food coloring! my advice - do it outside!
Hmmm....looks a lot like our house. Is it possible to NOT let them do these fun things???!!
I do have a plastic picnic table in the living room that they do this on. My "other" table is usually covered with laundry (folded, mind you...) but still ....covered.
Hey I have a question! Would you please mention my Uganda Blog and fundraiser in a post? You don't have to write a whole post about it, but just a quick mention? I'm not getting too much traffic....
Praying for you guys and can't wait to see you when I move!!
you forgot the finger paints! Get a picnic table for the porch and let them paint...and who cares if all the paints are brown at the end of the day? It's when you add a 3rd kid who is a perfectionist that you REALLY don't want to do this
And don't you love play dough too?! I dread doing crafts so bad with my littles, that I put it on my schedule...or it would never get done. They do always love it though, and we get cute crafts.

Painting, making pictures with glitter, and play-doh.....yup, those are activities that I limit at my house with my grandkids. Just too messy!
Oh, but they look like they really enjoyed it!!!
Looks awesome... as long as the paint stayed at the table:)Looks like things are going well at your house!
It's those sweet faces that get you every time.

Well, I will admit when I saw the first picture my thought was "What the heck was she thinking?"
I don't know, maybe I'm a terrible mom, but the whole water paint is something we never got into here.
At least they're having fun. Right?
Hugs,
