A while ago we had guests that came over for SIX hours! Have you ever tried to control your kids and entertain guests for SIX hours? Egh!!! My husband was in the garage with this his friend and I had to entertain his VERY young wife (he's 32 and she barely turned 18) whom I didn't know well for Six hours. Of Course, Kids tend to know exactly WHEN they can get away with stuff and of course get into stuff they NEVER would when people come over.
While I'm trying to entertain the guest, I send my kids upstairs to play. Well, I guess I should have clued in right away something was up....They were actually quiet!! Well, my husband came back in, stood right under my stove and started talking to the husband who followed and stood in the entry way. Right above the stove is one of those old grates that allowed heat to pass to the upstairs from the old wood stoves which is about 1 ft by 1 ft. At First we heard this trickle of water hitting the floor. My husband looks up, yells "Don't you dare" and barely has time to move out of the way as a Bucket of water WHOOSHES down the grate, barely missing him.
While my husband yells up the vent at my youngest, you can hear laughter and the pounding of little feet running. Okay, so you think its over right?! Wrong! My husband went to get a towel to soak up the water and just when he went to stand back under the stove "WhoOOSH!!" Goes another bucket of water! He was able to move out of the way in time due to the kids laughter. Regardless to say, it sent my husband running up stairs to put some kids in line and left our guests in peals of laughter. But the fun Doesn't stop there!!!
My husband comes back down and tells me he put the kids to bed. The kids were able to get access to the water so easy because someone had forgotten to let the bath water out from the bath the kids had before the guests came. So my husband let out the water and said everything should be calm now and then left back out into the garage with his friend. Yeah, everything should be calm. Yeah RIGHT!!!
So everything Sounds fine upstairs right? And here I am trying to make nonsense Chat with the wife who just had a baby. Everything is going smoothly until my Oldest son who is Seven comes running down the stairs screaming "Mom, MOM!!" I turn around as my son Runs into the Kitchen with Fistfuls of Winged Maxi Pads Yelling "MOm! MOM! Marshall got into the Stuffs for your PERIOD!!" At the top of his lungs. I almost Died on the spot!! But that wasn't all of it. He then says "HE also got into the paint!" at that moment, you hear this little "Pitter patter" of feet coming down the stairs and in comes my 3yr old head Hellion covered Head to Toe in WHite wall paint (there was a can of paint in the bathroom that was being used for touch-ups upstairs). So needless to say, my houseguest is darn near Peeing herself, she's laughing so hard. I Put Marshall in the shower and then my husband came back in. I told him his son was in the shower and that he had got into the white paint. I then Asked him to go check out the "Damage" upstairs.
You guessed it, the fun didn't stop there. Not only did he get INto my maxi pads...he Painted the darn Bathroom with them and also discovered you can take off the paper and THROW the paint soaped maxi's at the Mirror and walls and have the buggers actually STICK there!!! So not only did I have Just Paint, I had paint soaked Maxis stuck to places no 3 yr old should have thrown them. I was mortified!!!
Needless to say, it gave our guests a good "Chuckle" and another little thing that goes into the file of "Crazy stuff our kids did" that I'm gonna put in those kids High School yearbooks as "Payback"!!
