Holiday disaster avoided

So yesterday I came home from work and stopped by my neighbors and lamented that I didn't want to go home because of our construction drama and the fact that so many family members were about to come into town. I was also a bit sick and just didn't want to deal with being home. (yea bad attitude)

Well when I got home I went upstairs to talk to Danielle. Our 2 year old daughter and her 2 year old friend were upstairs playing in their room. A little later I noticed them sitting on some paint cans upstairs but didn't think anything of it.

I was in the guest room with Danielle when one of the girls walked in with a paint can and dropped it on the floor in front of us. 1 gallon of white paint all over our carpet.

We went into fix it mode. Danielle jumped on google to figure out a solution. I grabbed the shop vac and the boys grabbed cups. They ran back and forth from the bathroom to the bedroom pouring water on the paint. We used the shop vac to suck it all up. It took about an hour but all the paint came up.

Keith my neighbor ran out to get a steam cleaner from the store but we ended up not needing it.

Disaster avoided thanks to google, shop vacs, boys with cups of water, a determined wife and me.

Hmmm... note to self, keep Brennan away from open paint cans unless we purchase a wet-vac...
