I didn't get pictures of the green drops all over the kitchen table and floor, or the potential stains on the dish towels and socks, or the green fingers, or the 2-year old holding the thankfully closed container of blue food coloring.
I did get a picture of their not quite finished potions. Not quite finished because Mom didn't let them finish when she found all of the above.
Some notable quotes from this morning-
Mom: You only need a few drops of food coloring, maybe two, maybe even one.
Mom: If you'll be patient, I can help you when I'm done.
Nichole: Mom, where's the food coloring?
Mom: In the cupboard.
Nichole: Which cupboard?
Mom: The one above.
Nichole: The one above what?
Mom: The one above the counter.
Nichole: Which counter?
Mom: (thinking to self- I'll help you when I'm done.)
Nichole: Oh, I found it.
Mom: Are you wearing painting shirts?
Nichole: You need a container like this and a lid. I'll get it for you.
Mom: (thinking to self- One of the lids had a crack in it, we probably don't even have it anymore.)
Nichole: Then you shake it up.
Mom: Do you know what food coloring does? It colors things. We don't need a green table.
Mom: Do you know what food coloring does? It colors things. You don't need green fingers.
Nichole: We're not done with our potions.
Jr.: I just need to put Italian Seasoning in it.
Nichole: Why are you taking off our socks?
Mom points to spots of green on socks.
Nichole: Oh.
Nichole: Can I do some more to my potion?
Nichole: Can I drink my potion?
Mom: No.
Love the "Can I drink it?" "No." What a patient momma. I don't think I could have just said no, it would have come with a little more upset :)
