Not the best idea...

Yesterday, I was trying to clean up before my friend and her boyfriend came to visit.  They live far away and we see them only a few times a year.  She has known me for at least 20 years and knows how messy I am so I am not sure what made me think I needed to do a super clean including vacuum UNDER the area rug.  I thought it would be a good idea to let the girls paint while I cleaned. 

It was not.

On the up side I did get the dining room floor washed.
And the walls by the highchair.
And the baby.
The toddler was fine.

Tasty

My toddler had Parmesan cheese for lunch.
That is all.
Literally.

Wednesday's Wisdom

If you are going to let the baby help unload the dishwasher maybe remove the steak knives first.

Quality Children's Programming

Apparently there is a petition out there to let Bert and Ernie get married.  This has led me to think of some other Sesame Street episodes that will be helpful to today's preschooler:

Biggest Loser: Big Bird
Can this canary reclaim his body after being obese for the last four decades? 

Hoarders: Oscar
Years of hoarding has isolated this monster from his neighbours.  Will he be able to get rid of his garbage or will his beloved pets, Fluffy the elephant and Slimy the worm, be taken by animal protection?

So You Think You Can Dance: Zoe
Does she make the final 12 or is this monster in for a huge does of reality?

Toddlers and Tiaras: Abby
Will this monster magically light up the stage to win ultimate grand supreme?

Freaky Eaters: Cookie Monster
What has years of cookie binging done to this monster's life?  Could his simple mind be due to malnutrition?

Intervention: Elmo
Will this little red monster choose his amphetamines or his friends and family?

Biography: Grover
Seriously, what is wrong with this guy?


Or everyone could just remember that they are PUPPETS and at night they go back to the storage room!

We are THOSE people

You know the people who have an old appliance in their yard. 

Meet the Dishwasher Family.

The worst part is our neighbours had not one but TWO appliances outside for months and we have ours out two weeks and theirs are suddenly gone.  I guess we have to keep up with the Jones.
