She's Going to Kill You!
These were my words this past week to Hailey when she came downstairs one afternoon while the older two were at school and she showed me what she had done with Peyton's camera.
Now, this isn't just any digital camera where you can delete pictures that you take. It's an old school Polaroid type where you have to buy the film and it takes your pictures and prints them with cute borders.
Peyton got this camera for her birthday and has been quite stingy with the film electing not even to share a snap or two with her friends. So you can imagine how mad she was going to be when she got home and found out that Hailey snapped four pictures of her stuffed animals in different poses with her camera and film!
So I told her she'd better hide them real good and never tell her! After she stopped crying because she realized the seriousness of what she had done, she hid them in her room underneath her Octonauts playset. "Not a good spot," I told her. "You'd better find a better one!" She thought this over carefully and then decided to put them just under her bed. Now, that could be a good spot if you've ever seen underneath Hailey's bed as it's hard to find stuff under there but Peyton does play with Hailey (when she's being nice) and they take stuff out from under the bed so I had her move them into a little lunch box with a latch that was underneath her bed. (I really would have thrown them in the garbage but Hailey wanted to keep them! Something to look at and only take out when Peyton isn't home.)
So now we wait until the day when Peyton finds them. Hopefully it's years from now and she doesn't give a hoot about that camera anymore. But just in case, I'm deleting the evidence from my phone. But before I do, here's an example of Hailey's photography skills:
