Sunday is daddy's day with Eve. We always have a lot of fun and usually make a nice mess. Today was no different. Eve had been helping me with the dishes that had accumulated over the last couple days. The little one requested a snack despite just eating her two bites of lunch so I let her down. She likes to get into our pantry cupboard and will usually eat from the giant bag of fruit loops that call the bottom shelf home. Today she decided to get adventurous and open the sealed storage jar. When I saw her inspecting the contents I of course suggested that she taste it. One finger taste and a resounding MMMMM yummy and I had to seal the jar back up... this is the sugar jar after all. Alas, what child would listen to a suggestion of no more when pure sugar is the substance in question? Next time I look Eve has a hand in her mouth. The instant she notice I was watching she thrust that little mitt right back in the jar. She knows what is coming next. I had to take it away. But, I had to get this wonderful discovery on film for mommy. I gave the jar back and Eve was happy to start grabbing handfuls of sugar for me to get on camera. Now the sugar jar lives on top of the fridge with the candy jar. Now, usually I get a chance to attempt to clean up our messes to mom's standards before she gets home from work... not today. BUSTED! Mom came home while I was trying to clean the sugar off of Eve. There was still sugar everywhere in the kitchen and even some places in the living room. That rugrat is a quick little bugger. This was probably the biggest mess we have made yet. I can't wait til she can help with clean up.
