Ornaments

Two days before the beginning of Christmas vacation, Ashley was helping all three boys hand paint ornaments that were to be given as gifts to their respective teachers.  As they gathered around the newspaper-lined dining room table, each bent over an ornament, I watched from afar.  This variety of activity, and the corresponding mess, shares a level of dislike in my book along with Play-Doh and Easter egg dying.
"Logan, you're being so careful," Ashley praised, as Logan did his best to keep the paint in it's proper place.
"Logan, careful?" Justin asked, failing to stifle his skepticism.  "That's a sentence I want to hear more often."
Me too, Justin.  Me too.
