paint, paint everywhere

My girls have finally gotten their own rooms. They've always shared a room but in the past couple of weeks we decided to move our bedroom to the bonus room and give the girls their own rooms. I am arranging them and painting them and trying to make them cute girl rooms that reflect my girls. It's taking forever. I get in there to paint and I have the girls coming in wanting to help. Then an animal, or two, or three come wandering in there and I start having a stroke thinking they're going to step in paint. I decided to let the girls put the first coat on Kirkland's tv armoire because I didn't figure they could mess it up.... dang, you should've seen the thing. I've never seen paint so streaky and gooped up. But I fixed it...took 3 coats... and it looks good now. I will take pics of the girls rooms when I'm done so you can see.
When I was working on it the first nite, instead of rinsing out the little mini roller I was using, William just wrapped it in foil and said it would be fine. Well it wasn't fine. Because Josh.... our little "don't take your eye off him for a second" baby.....found the roller the next morning while I was changing clothes and proceeded to paint his head, his pajamas, his feet, MY WALL, and MY LEATHER COUCH. I managed to get to it while it was wet and clean it off my couch. The wall will have to be repainted. This child.... I swear... he's the same reason we have art work all over the house on walls, doors, tvs, furniture.... we always think we have pencils, markers, crayons, etc put up but the little joker always finds some. He colored all over himself with a hot pink permanent sharpie marker this weekend. We still haven't gotten it all off. He had to go to church partially "decorated" sunday morning. I guess it'll wear off eventually. And eventually he'll grow out of it...maybe. I mean, I'm still painting and drawing on walls! :)
