paint & a play date

I decided to have the kids paint canvases for Mike for Father's Day (a little selfish motivation mixed in there).   Peter picked his color and I picked Lily's.
 It was quick and easy and I really enjoyed it... quite therapeutic!
Then they each added a touch of another color.. Peter added green and Lily added pink.

 When I was buying the paint, I found these "X" and "O"s on clearance and painted them with the leftover paint for Valentines decorations (for the years to come)

 Then the Andrews boys came over to play...  :)
 Peter and Luke got their exercise!

After naps, we added hand and foot prints to our art.  I was SOOO pleased with how they turned out.  I had them on the far corner of the table to dry.  Then, I found this... AHH, SADNESS & frustration... 
There's the culpit, driven by the hands of a little boy who lives in my house.
I asked him if he knew why Mommy was upset, he said "b/c I drove my car thru the paint, my flying car".  Thanks for being specfic, Pete.  I had to look away so I didn't smerck.  
The disappointment ruined the rest of my day.  :(  I'm gonna try to fix them.
