This Labor Day weekend we have the lovely pleasure of watching Annie (5), Zach (3), and Nick (1). We love when the kiddos come over to play and we have some great activities planned. I purchased an excess amount of junk food and a few new Tinkerbelle movies, as my niece informed me that she “is really into fairies right now.”
Another fantastic activity we took part in today was painting and decorating wooden boxes. Yes. This comes with a mess. I accepted it. My mom accepted it. My dad…well…hmm…Let’s just say he TOTALLY almost ruined the fun.
Gramps: No. No. No. Zach! Keep the box on the paper. Annie! That’s way too much glitter! WOW! Don’t put the brush there. No, Zach, that brush has red on it, get a new brush. Glitter EVERYWHERE!
Auntie: Are you kidding me? Do you see what you’re doing? You’re ruining our fun. What if I had acted this way with my students? They were ten times worse. Just calm it down.
Gramps: Would you look at this mess! Annie has paint on her legs. These boxes aren’t going to dry for days. OH! The glitter. Would you look at the glitter.
Auntie: You know what! You are a “Glitter Tyrant.” Go away. We’re having fun! Plus, we’re outside. Who cares?
Nana: Yeah, Gramps. You would be a terrible kindergarten teacher. Let them express themselves!
Gramps: I’m just saying Zach has about 4 inches of glitter on that box.
Auntie: I’m just saying I love it…Why don’t you go change Nick’s diaper if you want to clean up a mess.
Having the time of our lives...I'm pretty sure Annie is giving Gramps the stink eye.
