a 4 year old and a can of paint

I know that I am taking a risk that all of you must think I live in a crazy house but I have to tell you about yesterday.
Rock had gotten the flu so he was sleeping and it was cold and yucky outside so the boys were in the house, climbing the walls. I had purchased paint for the boys room (because it is only fair since Izy got her room done) and placed the cans on the steps, not it their room because that would just be asking for trouble. One can of blue and one of green, the boys picked the colors. They are going for a sports/hunting theme-figure that one out.
I walked thru the family room into my craft room and not 2 minutes later Sage comes running in looking sheepish saying he spilled something. As soon as I stepped out of my room into the family room I could smell it.
Evidently he decided to play toss on the couch with the can of paint and accidently dropped it on the floor where the lid popped off spilling a gallon of green paint on the couch and on the floor.
I kinda freaked out. It's paint!!! It gets on everything so how do you clean it up? After calming myself, and I didn't yell or scream by the way, I started scooping the paint back into the can. When I was done there was 2/3 of a can left. Yes, I now have a 24" green circle on my carpet.
Sage quietly tells me at this point that he has always wanted green carpet.
Well good!!!
