The magic of mess! Messy craft and painting for Wordless Wednesday

If you're a regular Mrs D reader you'll know that I really hate mess!!  I don't cope well with it at all, so these two little cuties really tested my abilities to just 'go with the flow' on Sunday.  I was busy doing some housework (as I do on a Sunday) when Mr D set them up with some painting out in the garden before heading out with Master J for a bike ride.

They were only left for a few minutes......but it was enough!!!!!  Oh My Goodness, you should have seen the mess!!!!!!  I literally froze with panic at the kitchen door when I first saw them, but the smiles and that beautiful sound of little giggles forced me to just sit down on the doorstep and watch.

They had a ball!!
How you you cope with mess??

    I saw a speaker last night called Maggie Dent, who said that we need to reframe how we see things. You can see mess or you can see totally disinhibited creativity. It's great!

      You sound just like my mum! You are so right though. I do try and see things differently and it does generally work xx

    I shy away from messy play - the thought of cleaning up is what deters me.

    Oh my gosh! What a mess! I hope the paint came out of the clothes. At least the kids can be just thrown in the bath. Good on you for letting them go, and you also got a moment to smile at them being as happy as larry :)
