Note to Self

So here's something new I thought I would try. I always have these moments with the kids where I know I should do something but I'll try putting it off just an extra minute or two to finish up something else. It usually bites me in the booty big time. Here's a prime example where I have noted to myself never ever to tell Kailee just a minute and finish unloading the washer.
The kids got nosey and found a whole box of Christmas Nerds. You know the little tiny ball shaped candies. They are one of Paul's favorites and so of course now the kids want them whenever they can have them because they have to be like daddy. So I gave in and said the kids could each have a few and counted them out and made them sit at the table. I proceed to the laundry room and take a load out of the dryer and Kailee tells me they are done. I said cool. And she says I need help I then say hang on be there in a minute. She said no biggie I got it. I had no clue what she was talking about but decided to go ahead and put the next load in the dryer. Next thing you know...I hear the clash of something falling followed by a bunch of little things hitting the floor. Yup this is what I walked in the kitchen to see.


Now mind you this happened to be a day that Paul got home later than usual so he also got to walk in on this mess. The look on his face was quite priceless. Thankfully he's the best because he helped clean it and I'm sure our vacuum was over worked considering it had to vacuum the whole pantry and play room carpet. I got the lovely job of sweeping the kitchen floor and boy do those things spread on tile.



So note to self. Whenever your daughter says she needs help putting something away in the pantry. Stop whatever you are doing and if not help at least supervise so you don't end up with a mess like above.

ETA: the pictures above do not give the mentioned mess justice.
