A few weeks ago, the Cairo Grandsons spent the night with us while their Dad and Mom attended Derrick's 20th class reunion. We ordered pizza and cinnamon sticks. A staple dinner when you spend a weekend night with Nanny. We ate, played, watched some tv, and tried to settle down. Each time they stay, they announce they are staying up all night. Alden usually last till about 10 or so (sometimes later if he has had a good nap) Noah stays up later but only because he is all into the computer and playing games. They finally fell asleep and Nanny settled down into the couch to rest and watch a little tv, but then I thought...with a sly smile and a thoughtful hmmmmm I am going to play the same trick on them, that they played on Poppa a couple of weeks before. (Ok so it was a WE idea, not necessarily a "they" idea * smiles*)He had fell asleep in his recliner and we did the old paint the toe with bright nail polish while he was snoozing. We also tried the shaving foam in the hand while tickling his nose. We wanted to see if he would slap himself in the face with the shaving cream. Alden was giggling so hard he awakened Poppa, but they sure had tons of fun trying.
Anyhooooo back to the original story; when the boys were fast asleep, out creeps that HOT PINK toe painting fairy and gives both those sleeping boys big toes a splash of that vibrant color. The next morning I was awakened by Alden saying "Get it off, Get it OFF!!!" I was going to have all 3 guys put their toes out side by side (yep Poppa still had his polish on!) and take a picture...they were not having any of that, but you can see the sneaky work that toe painting fairy did in the pictures below....like I have said..it may be the summertime blues, but HOT PINK was the we colored it! :-)
