Tales of Terror #2
Well, as usual my kids have given me a run for my money. I’ve been taking naps due to the gestation period I am going through, so the boys have been on running a muck while I’ve been sleeping…
OLE’
The boys decided to take the taco chips out of the pantry and dump them all over the living room carpet. They then proceeded to have a Taco stomping party. From upstairs I was awoken to squeals of laughter and the sound of stomping feet on newspaper? I go downstairs to find taco chips ground into the carpet. I handed one the garbage can and the other a bowl and they picked up all the taco chips. Then, after the majority of it was picked up I let them vacuum the carpet. It took them 1 1/2 hours to clean up the mess. They complained bitterly the entire time that I wasn’t helping them, but I just kept reminding them that I didn’t have the fun of stomping on the tacos.
Picasso, Picasso where art thou?
Ah, he resides in my little 15month old. Mya opened the art kit that Laura got for Christmas and promptly proceeded to repaint the walls and the foot-board on my bed with oil pastels, crayon, felt and wax crayon. You have to use ALL the mediums to create art work… right?
Snap, Crackle, Pop
The boys and Mya decided to try an experiment.
The Question: If we add milk to Rice Krispies that are dumped on the carpet, kitchen floor and table will they make the ‘Snap, crackle, pop’ sound?
Conclusion: Yes, they do…along with a gigantic mess.
Next experiment.
The Question: If we run and hide downstairs will the mess magically go away?
Conclusion: No. Mom will make us clean the mess.
