Sweet as Honey (or Sticky as Syrup)
| Well... I just had to write to share what my greatest challenge in home schooling is today with my 3 beautiful children. It's not my dd7 with her reading or math, or my dd5 with her hand writing, it is my ds2 and keeping him occupied whilst I do those other above mentioned activities. Today, he was more rambunctioous and curious than usual. My girls had made tents with loads of our blankets and were taking turns playing with him this morning so the other could have some 1:1 time with mom. We had lunch, the kids were well fed, well read and well...... apparently at least one was bored. After we had cleaned up from lunch, we were getting ready for our afternoon. Did I say cleaned up??? I meant cleaned up of everything except the Maple Syrup (100%, VT pure, Grade A, full bottle) Have you figured out the picture yet?? Yup- my ds got into it and decided he wanted to see what syrup would look like poured out on to the table... and running down the table cloth onto the chair, the floor oh and yes... our black lab. Then he was curious what would happen if he stepped in it, put his hands in it and took off running. HA HA HA!!!! Well- my dd7 saw this before I did and she said and I quote, "Mom, you better come here, J has done something, " to which I responded (worried), "What". She said, "I don't want to tell you, you better just come and look." At which time, I became very worried :-). After I caught my ds, he just kept saying, "sowee, sowee" as he does in his sweet little voice. At that point my only goal was to get him up to our tub without him touching anything else-- lol. Well-- we've got the floors, the chair, the dog and the child cleaned up, although I keep hearing this squeak when I walk through my kitchen with my sneaks on. At least for now, no amount of cleaning of both seems to be taking it all off....oh well-- I will consider it an auditory reminder of the sweetness of my children. My kids are sweeter than honey, and yes, at times, "stickier" than syrup. Hope your day is as sweet (albeit less sticky) than mine. |
