Making Messes . . . When Daddy Isn't Around

I have a policy: make messes when Daddy isn't around. Evelyn and I typically make the messiest desserts when Troy is at work. We make a mess of our white kitchen, bake our goodies, clean up . . . and when Troy gets home, all he knows is that we made some delicious treats.

This afternoon, I let Julia have some fun with the sidewalk chalk. As you can see in the picture below, Julia has chalk on her shirt, on her pants, on her shoes, and of course all over her hands. By the time Troy came home from work, Julia was mostly cleaned up, with just a little orange chalk on her pants. Troy was none the wiser, mostly because he knew Evelyn drew all the eggs.
