I must be crazy!

What started out as a controlled mess quickly turned into a disaster. We've painted with pudding before and it was such a success that I thought I would try it again. We were bored while Mark was out of town and Joseph was asleep so I got it out. For some reason, the girls thought they would have a little more fun with it this time and instead of keeping it on the table decided to decorate themselves with it, which wasn't so bad because the idea was to put them in the tub right after anyway. However, somehow instead of keeping the pudding contained on the table they managed to splatter it all over the walls and floor. Needless to say, we won't be trying this again real soon. I suppose I should have specified more rigid rules. Even that wouldn't have been too bad except while the kids were in the tub getting washed off and I was attempting to clean up the mess while it was still wet, Sam dumped a whole bucket of water on the bathroom floor, so then I had a flood to clean up as well. I would have made the kids clean up the mess, but this is one of those messes that would be 10 times worse when they were finished cleaning, so I just went ahead and did it.
