Another week of messes has come and gone. How did you fare, friends?
You will like these pictures, and I have to admit, I like taking them. Looking at these pictures all in a row makes me feel incredibly accomplished. I mean, LOOK, mothers! LOOK at all of these ugly things that we deal with!
(I'd love to know which picture is your favorite!)

This is not our pile, but ours is still in the living room. I find it overwhelming.
I figure I have until the end of July to go through it.
(Though it occurs to me that I'd better check the bags for perishables.)
The Pretty Staircase
See those chalky handprints?
How sweet.
The Totally Dead Toad
Mom: "James, what did you do at Aunt Sarah's today?"
Abby: "James went potty on a toad."
James: (yelling) "Abby be quiet! I'm not done talking to Mom! Mom, it was already dead. Then I buried it in the sand pit."
Mom: "You mean the toad went potty on you?"
James: "Yes, the toad went potty on me then I went potty on the toad."
Sometimes I wonder why I even asked. I'd rather not know what they did.

Gag.
So, would you clean this out, or throw it away?
This time, I cleaned it, but I must confess I do not always make that choice.

Sad Princess
She's holding a flower, but the mess is on her face.
She fell on the concrete, the same spot, twice!
I hate this kind of mess!
I'm glad I didn't make him take off his PJs that morning.
What was he doing, you ask?
Just playin' on the
Dirt Pile
I'm so glad she remembered to put those goggles on her forehead first!
Dirt Boy
I thought I saw a pudding-cat!
Oliver took his second bath this week, due to chocolate substances.
Silly, sandy rabbit
I'm glad Bugs has inspired him to eat his carrots.
But I'd rather he did it outside, especially when his pocket is filled with sand.
