Painting and bed time stories

So we managed to keep Mara out of the paint, and away from the wet walls the whole project. Mark put away the paint can and the brush after doing the touch ups, and went outside, and the next minute Mara looked as if she had been licked up her face with yellow. She had found the stir stick... oops!
Mara absolutely loves to read books, and generally is soo careful with them. The only books she's ever tore are the pop-up books, and it's probably because there is "extra" paper. I love finding Mark reading to Mara.
