The a.m. mess I actually didn't mind since I got to sleep in. Samson woke up at 6am & went to watch Sal from the window as he drove away to work. The kids love watching Sal flash his lights at them. He never came back upstairs to ask for a show, some chocolate milk & cereal, so I fell back asleep. At some point Seri woke up & just went downstairs (I'm still sleeping). When I finally did wake up & realize they've probably been up for a couple of hours (<-----mother of the year award GONE) I went downstairs, a little nervous, to see what was going on. I was actually pretty impressed by what I found. Samson had turned on the TV, then the Wii & figured out how to get to Netflix & streamed a show for them to watch. Both kids were sitting at the table drinking chocolate milk & eating Rice Crispy's (compliments of Chef Samson) with only minimal damage done to the kitchen. There was a little milk on the table, about 1 cup of spilled cereal on the counter & another cup on the floor & about 7 cupboard doors wide open. It only took me 5 minutes to clean up everything. That was SO worth the extra 2 hours of sleep ;)
This was just part of them mess. Since I slept so late we were in a hurry to get to the park in time to play with friends & then Seri's Wee Folks class...The 2nd mess I'm still a bit peeved about. They were playing outside while I cleaned the kitchen. I looked out & saw them drawing on the patio & thought nothing of it assuming it was side walk chalk. Moments later I saw the bucket of markers with them. They were coloring with markers all over the cement. Fabulous.
This one's a little harder to see because I had just jet blasted it with the hose. The top one is an airplane & the bottom one is a fish. There were about 5 other pieces of abstract artwork that I believe must have been Seri's.
When I walked into Samson's room to ask him why he would think that was a good idea I was caught a little off guard be his outfit which consisted of 3 winter hats (It was about 80 degrees here today. He didn't need even one winter had let alone three) & two ties. It's hard to be upset when you're trying not to laugh. And then of course he had to say "I'm so frustrated with my brain! I don't know why I did that. My brain is NOT smart!!" So with the combo of holding back giggles & feeling aboutthisbig, I was no longer upset at them (but still a bit worried how we're going to get rid of this marker).
Get to work you little turds....
