10 Messes I Cleaned/Prevented on Tuesday

1- Jayson scooped rolled oats into the sugar canister. I dumped the top layer, picked out the obvious oats, then ran the sugar through a strainer to catch any larger pieces. Now our sugar has a bit of fiber added. :)

2- Have you ever tried quinoa? It's a healthy little grain that we added back into our diet again. I only had about 1/2 cup left, but left it in the air tight canister. Jayson got it out today, removed the lid, droped the bucket and these little grains bounced ALL over the tile and spread all over the kitchen. I've never seen such an aerodynamic food. The stuff was propelled everywhere.

3- Saved the floor from yolk and white when Jayson was walking around with an egg with his finger poked in the top.

4- I avoided another big mess by grabbing the soy sauce out of Jayson's hands before he darted around the corner. We need to find a new style of fridge lock. It's exhausting having him in the fridge.

5- Jayson went to my most recently cleaned bathroom and dipped the toilet brush into the toilet bowl. He then proceeded to splash water all over seat, lid, & exterior or recently santitized toilet. Yeah.

6- Jayson squirted my Silk Drops (generic brand of smoothing silicon hair serum) into a puddle on the bathroom tile. Watch your step. Even after wiping up the mess, it's slippery. He also stroked it into his hair. It looks so greasy, but Jon gets the credit for washing that out during bath time.

7- During Jayson's non-nap (as in I put him down and he refused to sleep AT ALL), he stripped all his bedding and his shirt and tossed them all on the floor. No break for mom today.

8- Jayson brought the gallon milk jug to me at my computer. He had already removed the lid so the milk splattered on me, my chair, and surrounding floor area.

9- I've been finding recycled apple and orange slices (as in chewed up by Jayson and then spit out in piles) all over my countertops.

10- We had couscous for dinner. Tasty? yes. Easy for young children to handle? No. Mess all over table, chairs, & tile? ABSOLUTELY.

Jayson had a busy day. Mom too.

On the bright side I WON a blog give away from a favorite photographer. I decided to do "mine on Monday" to take and share more pics of my kids. I posted it over on my photography blog.
