Four mischievous tots transformed their new home into a winter wonderland by emptying all the polystyrene balls from three giant bean bags - unleashing carnage that their poor mums spent three-and-a-half hours cleaning up. Natalie Standen, 38, captured the aftermath of the cheeky quartet's antics on their first playdate in their new house while enjoying a cup of tea with pal Andreia Gomes downstairs.
The pair were having a catch-up while Natalie's sons Harvey, five, and Alex, seven, daughter Ava, three and Andreia's daughter Leah Zara, six, played upstairs. It was only when Natalie's eldest son, 11-year-old Jake, raced downstairs 20 minutes later to report that 'some carnage' was going on that they had any idea anything was amiss - and decided to investigate.
Hilarious pictures show the giggling kids scooping handfuls of the polystyrene balls into their hands before throwing them into the air while declaring 'it's snowing' to the stunned parents. The delighted children, who only moved into the house three weeks earlier, all pointed the finger of blame at Harvey who was 'very impressed' with himself.
