Every Mother Knows...

that when the kids are being quiet, they are usually up to NO GOOD!!!! I went upstairs for a few minutes and Andy was downstairs on the couch studying. I knew the silence wasn't good, but Andy was down there with the kids, so I thought everything was okay. Guess again. This is what I found in the kitchen. I have a huge Costco sized bag of flour on the side of the oven. It has been there for a couple of weeks and the thought of it causing potential problems never crossed my mind. But, the kids found it and boy did they have fun. I couldn't help but laugh, and I think they thought that it was worth every minute that they had to spend in time-out.

When something like that happens, I like to remember and say "Instead Of getting mad, take a picture). So funny!

It is good you were able to laugh about this....I probably would have screamed at my kids (and Josh). They were clearly having too much fun to yell at, though.
