The messes a child can make...

So after a few nights of rough sleep, my husband and I had the rare opportunity to sleep in. The girls were playing happily in their room and the little baby was sleeping. Church wasn't til eleven so we were enjoying some sleep. Too bad the happily playing little girls were stealing food from the kitchen and carrying it to their rooms!! This is the mess we found!!

Yes, those are spaghetti noodles, goldfish, three boxes of cake mix, a muffin mix, granola bars, a cornbread mix and some kind of spiral pasta!! All intermixed with their toys!! Talk about a nice sleep spoiled!! Served us right for thinking they would play nicely!!

In another one of those relaxing moments as a mother, this is what happened!! I was enjoying a session of conference and the girls were coloring with markers. Little did I know that one of the markers had gone bad and was attacking my poor daughter's face and hands, and the table and chairs of course!! Note to self: when the label says "don't leave children unattended," its not just for certain activities, its for all of them!!
