I am swimming with delight of my nieces and nephew!
Eldest decided she really wanted to reenact a scene from the princess diaries where they have a canvas studded with balloons filled with paint and pop them with darts.
She decided to do this with her siblings to celebrate her mothers birthday, the day before mothers day, whilst her mother is away on long service leave camping holiday and not in a position to stop them,
She also decided to do this on the day they had mostly run out of food, and was soooo busy preparing for the event, that they'd not had much water, and decided they should have cocktails first, before doing anything else.
Like cooking.
And stuff.
Luckily, they also decided to film the event.
They even did a time lapse.
Sophie (happily/drunkenly) threw a dart.
It rebounded, after popping a paint filled ballon ...
... and she caught it again ...
... WITHOUT IMPALING HERSELF WITH THE DART!!!!
She therefore argued that it meant she got another throw.
I have suggested the resulting artwork should be entittled 'Twilight pee on LSD'.
Apparently it got smugged a bit when she thought it was a good idea to hop up on the table to add more paint filled ballons, instead of waiting for her much taller brother.
(Sophie is a bit on the short side, but tall in personality and determination).
She is already planning a reenactment for when her mom gets home, but possibly without the darts.
... and the tacks they where using to fix the balloons, which had a tendency too projectile out from the canvas with prejudice.
Also, they are missing some darts.
Hooting with mirth. And glad that I am not on clean-up patrol.
