We had a bunch icing leftover from the boys birthday cakes. I hate to waste anything, so I kept thinking I'm sure I can think of something to do with this icing. Other than just eat it off a spoon like I wanted to do, please tell me I am not the only one tempted to do that???
So, in a total lapse of judgement I decided to give the boys the icing and pastry brushes and let them have at it, well except for the strict parameters about not coming inside. I hung up some paper on the fence, for them to paint on, but I really think more icing ended up on each other and in their mouths than on the paper. Here is what in sued (please forgive the diaper and underwear, I wasn't about to let them get it on their clothes).

They got to top it off by running through the sprinklers to get clean. Icing painting turned out to be a sucess, the boys thought it was great and Mommy was happy because the mess was minimal.
