devil hair, and snow(that happens to look alot like rice) in the dining room

Ah, you get what you deserve sometimes. at least i do.

i took my long soaky hot shower. and felt pretty good. good enough to lay down in my warm bed and have a little nap while the littles watched some noggin.

well you know what short hair does if you sleep on it while wet? it get's weird. apparently like devil hair. according to the big kids , since that was the first question out of their mouths when they walked in the door after school. "why do you have devil hair? it looks like horns mom!"


and the second thing i deserved was a dining room full of "snow" actually it was a 5lb bag of rice. thrown around, and played in. while i napped.

it's effects are far reaching, and found all over every inch of the dining room floor. into the kitchen, and even up the stairs. and in the front room.

i'd take a picture but my camera is a piece of ----, err,i mean something. and i can't be bothered to use it anymore.

really you are missing out though, the rice drifts are a spectacular sight to behold.

i'll be spending some quality time sweeping that mess up. but i first had to kill some time posting about it document it before i start cleaning it up.

the moral of the story for today? don't take a nap with wet hair while 2 wild little kids are roaming unattended while a bag of rice to play in can be found in the pantry.

Paxton volunteered to sweep it up.

he is ONE RAD KID!

he also let me use his cheap A christmas camera to take some pictures of the rice drifts.

here is part of his sweeping pile. there is still more.

although i have to admit the nap was still worth it.

While I was snoozing on the couch this morning, I heard E. up on the table splashing in a cup of water. When I got up, she had also poured out an entire shaker of salt into a plate of butter and then done art all over the table with it. I was still glad I napped too.

♥ My hair get crazy if I sleep with it wet too. Heck it's weird i don't blow dry it...

The rice yeah i know how you feel although my kids did it with wheat flour! SO NOT HAPPY! Flour is a pain in the butt to get up anyway and then our basement at the time has the worse floor. It's just concrete (bumpy concrete) with carpet thrown over it... My vacumn hardly picked any up... such a pain! :)

This is why Dh got a Craftsman 2 gal Shop Vac for Christmas. It's like a dustbuster for larger families. SERIOUSLY invest in one. Dh cleans the table every night - he even vacuums up the liquid left in the glasses. He has never been so happy helping me clean before!! LOL

A good nap is worth ANY mess. Especially if you have a little slave, er, Paxton, to clean it up!

"Rice drifts," HA! Funny.
