After discovering BigMan in my container of flour and removing the remaining good flour I just let him be. As in, knowingly walked away while he sat right there on my counter and played contentedly with approximately 6 cups of flour.
And then I sat idly by while the others joined him in his “cookin’”.
And then I continued to sit there in my favorite spot on my couch while they offered to “clean up” the mess. So TheOldest retrieved the seldom-used vacuum and got started.
Then I sat idly by while all four of my children stood in awe at the workings of a vacuum cleaner.
I even sat there laughing while my husband said, “They don’t know what one is!”
I then got up from my peaceful spot and commanded little people to pick up toys enough that I could wipe, sweep, and vacuum.
And then I sat myself back down.
ahhh yes, I’ve learned not to use water when cleaning after those moments of entertainment. Kinda ruins the fun.(lol)
wow you have WAY more restraint that I do!
jules, yes, water is a mama’s nemesis when it comes to flour and cornstarch!
nikowa, just on this night (and it was more pregnant sickness than restraint.) so rare the restraint, i felt the need to blog it!
Hey, I hear it’s better if you use corn starch and water.
I’m just sayin’.
Could we have a side by side comparison please?
at least u got up to take pics
I just love that you used the phrase “I sat idly by.” It’s a very poetic grouping of words.
Sounds like something I'd do!
