Why do kids do the things they do? Part 2

Why do kids do the things they do? You may remember me asking this question before, but really why? I am mystified. Where do they get their ideas? Are they trying to drive us completely crazy?

I know everyone is wondering what the little monsters darlings have done now. Well Lily, Lacey, Hannah and Colton were outside playing very nicely when someone *cough* Colton *cough* had the  diabolical brillant idea to paint the tree. We look out the window to see four kids covered in paint painting the tree! Of course that is the exact moment that visitors arrive. Aaaah aren't the holidays exasperating  great!

The culprits kids.
