It is Summer. Pip and Tom are playing outside when they see a pile of paint pots.
Mum is having the house painted. Pip and Tom think it looks like it would be fun.
So the painters give them each a pot and a brush to give it a try.
They enjoy painting the gate so much...
...that Pip starts painting on the blank wall. She wants to make a pattern in yellow, green, red, and blue.
After she has finished it, she cleans it off with a mop. She knows her mother won't want a stripey wall.
They get pain all over themselves too. Mum has a cloth ready to wipe them down.
The kids want to show mum how they painted the gate. Toms sees a problem. Pip painted her side red...
...but Tom's side of the gate is painted green.
But Mum loves it. 'Let's keep it just like that,' she says.
