Note to self: Next time you’re tempted to deep clean, wait another half hour, especially if you are living with a savage masquerading as a toddler.
So I finished the floors while Tommy napped, and we tackled the upstairs bathrooms once he got up. After a few too many things got dropped into the bathtub during cleaning, I chased Tommy out… Big mistake…while I contentedly checked tasks off my list upstairs, he was investigating my just-purchased 25 lb bag of bread flour…
Yep, I came down to discover flour all over my clean kitchen floor. Tommy was covered in it from head to toe, and of course he decided to run all over the downstairs afterwards, shedding flour everywhere he went. I was livid (but lucid enough to think, “I cannot spank in anger!”). And I stripped him and started cleaning it up before thinking that maybe I’ll find this funny in a few days and I’d better take a picture.
By the time Derek came home, the entire downstairs was swept, vacuumed, swiffered, and mopped up again. And I decided to give up on the rest of my list until tomorrow morning. I’m listening to a classical Christian homeschooling lecture online instead.
I have so had that flour thing happen 🙂
Oh, bless curious 2 year old boys! Aidan loves making a mess with flour. I have had to reorganize my cabinet to keep it out of his little reach! By the way, the pictures you have posted of your home are lovely! I love the stainless look in the kitchen. =)
