It turned out that I was very glad to be at therapy with 7 of 8 yesterday morning.
2 of 8 was babysitting the other little kids for me.
Lucky 2 of 8.
Because on her watch, we had this little adventure…
This would be sugar.
All over the pantry floor.
Are you starting to itch?
It’s sort of festive, in a way. It looks like snow.
It seems that 5 of 8 was getting the sugar down to sprinkle a bit (or a lot) on his cereal. Since this is a household of 10 people, I typically don’t buy anything in small quantities.
Including sugar.
As these photos have proved.
You’ve got to hand it to 2 of 8. She grabbed the camera, got some shots, then cleaned it all up.
All before I got home.
Love that girl.
But I do have a feeling that I’ll be finding sugar granules for quite a while to come.
Let’s get it straight from the eyewitnesses, shall we?
God bless 2 of 8…patience of a saint, that one! It's a good thing this happened in the winter. Summer would've likely brought an entire nation of sweet-eating ants to the party. I particularly liked the child who was doing fancy footwork in the "snow" near the end of the video! š
Spilled sugar is the worse…..it gets in every nook and cranny! š
Now that is a lot of sugar! Wow.
Oh dear, that is a lot of sugar. You'll definitely be finding granules for awhile. But how clever to get everything on film and camera. And how sweet to have it all cleaned up by the time you arrived home!
lol You've just got to love it when kids get into these things, huh? My 2yr old is experimenting with salt…. we can't leave a shaker within 6 ft of the floor! I understand and sympathize with 2 of 8's clean up efforts. It's amazing she had it filmed and cleaned before you returned. You've definitely got a winner in that girl! š
Oh dear! š
OK, the fact that, after she photographed the evidence, she cleaned it up makes her a saint of a girl! W.O.W.!!!
And I love that someone stuck a spoon in it. Guess he was just completing the initial task, that being to spread a li'l sugar on his cereal.
Just awesome!
it was raining sugar!! love the photos
EEEK!!!! 2 of 8 is awesome to have it all cleaned up!! Again your post has such a familiar feel to it… my 4 of 10 came by while I was reading it and laughed…we had a similar incident with a bowl of flour being knocked off of a wheat bucket in the pantry…still trying to figure out why there was a bowl of flour just sitting on a wheat bucket but you know some things are better left unknown… š
BTW: Loved the video footage too
Great kid!
I'm a regular at Costco, myself.
WOW. Don't ever let that girl leave home… at least not until 7 & 8 of 8 are done. What a wonderful gift to have it all cleaned up and not close off the kitchen saying "that's a mum thing" or worse let them track it through the house!!! I think I'm getting a twitch just thinking about it!
I have seen a similar mess at my house a time or 2. At least she cleaned it up. Most of mine would ignore it or tell me it needed to be cleaned up. š
