The kids (Michael then aged 7, McKay 5, Hannah 3, and Garrett 6 months) and I had just come home from living in Washington DC for the summer and we'd left Darwin there for another 7 weeks to finish training for his new job. School was starting, so the kids had to come back. It had been a wonderful experience that summer, but there was certainly a lot going on as well. (Hee hee, ask Kim. We had our wood floor laid while we were gone and the floor layer moved--complete with his snake--into our house!)
But this particular day was a calm, low-key, rainy early fall day. I decided to have pizza delivered to the house and I was letting the kids paint with poster paint at the kitchen table.
I went to answer the door, retrieve the pizza, pay for it, and then I returned to the kitchen. In that timeframe, Hannah grew bored of her coloring book, looked for a new canvas, found one, and filled it with green paint.
Voila!

That is one of my favorite kid photos ever. I just love the look on Garrett's face.
Looks a little like one of Shrek's babies. Does poster paint stain?
Nancy--Nope, it was Crayola poster paint. Crayola deserves some kind of mommy award for being shockingly unstaining.
He is green with envy that he didn't think of the idea of painting himself!
