Ah, Friday!

But first, the remnants of Thursday.  It's never a pretty thing to see this as you attempt to go track your errant toddlers.



When you go into the kitchen and the refrigerator door is wide open, it's a sign.  Not a good sign.  This was on the other side:



The closeups are even more horrendous:




Toddler son was, however, repentant:



And then there's the cleanup:



I dropped a pen in my couch this morning.  When I went to go find it, know what I found? 


1 mechanical pencil


2 stubby wooden pencils with no lead


1 Cross pencil (left over from the ones I got when I graduated from high school)


fluff that you stuff animals with


paper napkins


a strut from the Pack 'n' Play that holds the animals over the child's head


a broken (wonder how that happened) glass bangle


and 5 pens, none of which was the one I was hunting for.


That was only one teeny part of my couch.  I wonder if Jimmy Hoffa is hiding in another part.


We're off to James & Catherine's wedding!  It will be nice to see Friend Tony and Friend Norma while we're there and to visit with all those Indiana folks.  It will, however, be a very long night.  See y'all on the flipside.  Happy Friday!

ACK! I'm sure they had fun making that mess :)

Thank you for your comments on my memory garden. I did love the symbolism and the ideas are great.
