Why?

I know, she is just expressing herself and learning through play and blah, blah, blah! But, why? Why do they have to do it right when you have company coming or when you are trying to clean up for dinner. Why the messes! My sweet, loving daughter decided she wanted to make a "present for someone" using every messy thing she could find in the house. Well, she left a present for me too. This picture doesn't even show the half of it. It took a very long time and a lot of energy to clean this one up. I love you Mel, just do the real messy stuff at school! Yah, paint got on our really nice telephone too, but we won't tell daddy about that one.
