I appreciate it when my children want to help around the house. It's thoughtful. Sometimes, though, it can be a disaster.
We had home team tonight and the girls decided to give mommy a hand before everyone arrived. I left them upstairs for a little bit with a movie and a couple of cleaning wipes. They were all excited to wipe down the coffee table and the walls and whatever else they could imagine. Usually after a mad cleaning with 3 or 4 wipes they lose steam and start doing something else. Well, this time they decided to be EXTRA helpful and they sprinkled baby powder over the whole room. They actually got the powder from inside a ziplock bag in the top drawer of Bubba's changing table. They thought it was like the scented powders I've used on the carpet before. It was all over our green sectional, up the walls, in my craft area . . . everywhere. Then Spunky decided to clean the microwave up there. She did a good job, but for some reason every time I shut the door the microwave starts now. I don't know how she did it. This is the same girl who once managed to make everything on the computer screen appear upside down just by pressing a couple of keys.
Well, that was today. I can't wait to see what tomorrow holds . . .
