Have a little pancake with that syrup

This morning while I was folding clothes and listening to conference, Sadie came in my room and said, "Put me in timeout, mom".  I could see that she had syrup all over her face and in her hair, so I figured she must have made a mess with the syrup. When I went downstairs to check out the damage, this is what I found. A pancake with a whole plate full of syrup. Luckily most of the syrup mess was on the plate. Not too bad as far as messes go. Sadie knew she did something wrong and thought she would be in trouble, so she came and asked me to put her in timeout. Silly girl. We put her in the bathtub and cleaned up the table. I guess next time I should put breakfast up before I leave the kitchen. 

Playing quietly

                                                                                                

I was sitting downstairs, enjoying my Sunday afternoon as the kids played quietly upstairs. Then Kamryn comes down and says "Come see what Sadie's doing, and bring your camera so you can take her picture". I guess my first clue that she was into something that she wasn't suppose to be in, was the fact that she was playing quietly. Well as I went up to her room I found a white baby. She had covered herself in Desitin, diaper rash ointment. It was pretty funny, until I had to clean her up. That stuff is meant to stay on, and doesn't wash off very easily. I had to really scrub. Looking on the bright side, she should be rash free for a little while.

Vaseline Anyone?

When your kids are playing quietly, it is a bad sign. The other day as we were getting ready for bed Sadie was upstairs "playing quietly". When we went to get her we found a mess of Vaseline. She decided that she needed to smear it all over her face and into her hair. I immediately threw her in the tub (after I took a few pictures of course). I felt like I gave her a bath in Vaseline. She came out pretty greasy. On a positive note, I think she has the smoothest skin of anyone right now.
