Do you know what happens when you are so busy cleaning a bathroom that you entrust your children to the melodic adventures of the Backyardigans? They take a whole friggen box of Rainbow Popsicles, take them out of the wrappers, let them melt and then paint the living room with them.
I walked out of the bathroom, sweat pouring down my (insert body part here,) to find a disaster that resembled what I call a gay pride graffitti-a-thon. Seriously, it looked like Rainbow Brite pissed all over my walls, furniture and floors. So I calmly (yeah right) handed each child a towel and played drill sergeant for the next hour. I barked out orders, stood guard to make sure nobody went AWOL and took no prisoners! See how tortured Ella looks? That is a smile of pure anguish....not.
After the kids were done scrubbing, Ella asked for a popsicle. "Sorry, we're all out," I chimed in my sing song smart ass tone. "What?!" She was obviously not happy. "This is all your fault, Mom! You shoulda bought more popsicles!" She's right, you know. I should have more popsicles in stock. Popsicles made out of a soap and water solution so that the next time they decide to do a little redecorating, my house gets clean instead of sticky! I shall call them "Mopsicles!"

Put me down for 3 dozen of the Mopsicles and if you come up with one that has carpet shampoo I'll take 6 dozen of those.
Fabulous creation!! When you get those Momsicles in production, please send some my way. Braeden needs to burn some energy! :)
ROFL! That is just priceless - wouldn't you have loved to have heard the conversation during the process?
She sure looks upset!! (LOL).. Her punishment should continue.. send her out here.. we'll work on that for ya.. ;o)
You didn't stop to get a picture of the posicley rainbow mess before making them clean it? What kind of blogger are you? LOL
The story sounds much like my life with my little ones too. Can't leave them alone for anything no matter how short of a time frame it is. But isn't that the same pic you posted of Ella when she wrote on the wall with the purple glue stick? It looks really firmiliar.
Oh dammit!! You caught me :) My camera battery was dead so I dug this old one up of Ella and the glue stick mess of '07.
Shitballs. I forgot that some of you have been around long enough to recognize recycled photos. :)
NIIIIIIIIIICE. Keep your kids away from my, ahem, perfect child. Ahem.
