The Cheerios Incident

Three of them, one of me. I'm screwed outnumbered. Natalie and Ryan were playing happily in the living room when I took Jake upstairs to put him down for a nap. I returned to find quite a different scene.

Cheerios Mess Who needs a bowl for cereal? I did what any good mom would do, put off the clean up and took pictures instead. (I feel compelled to document my journey to insanity.)

Start cleaning now? Nah, better get video too.



As for my efforts to corral two one year olds covered in Cheerios and confine the mess to one room? I can still hear the sound of Cheerios raining down on the floor as Ryan ran away from me down the hall...

Oh! Cheerios are fun to crunch and smoosh and nibble on though! Charlie dumps them out, doesn't even bother with the bowl anymore. LOL At least they're cute while they are making a mess ;)

Oh my goodness! I couldn't be mad at such a cute mess, either. I would have been snapping pics also instead of sweeping and vacuuming. I love the Cheerios on the butt. That is just too funny and adorable too.
