Why lids should ALWAYS be secure...

Yesterday night, I was in the middle of cooking dinner and trying to fix somethings on my photography blog. I was running in and out of the computer room, and forgetting to keep the door closed. Well, unbeknownst to me, Josh had moved some paint buckets into the corner of the room (near my scrapbooking stuff) without fully securing the lids. For some strange reason, Josh thought that Blake wouldn't play with them, or even really notice them. I don't think he knows his kids very well. ;) Well, just like with the pen thing, Blake got a little too quiet. That's when I heard some weird clanking sounds and thought I should go check out what Blake was up to. When I found him in the computer room, he was sitting in the middle of this:
I wish I could have gotten a picture of his face. Oh man, he knew he was in TROUBLE! Blake was wearing a pair of jeans that are my favorite, and now they are covered in white paint. Lovely. I had to carry him into the bathtub right away, and start hosing him down to get all the paint off. As you could imagine, he was COVERED in white. Because I cleaned him off right away, I didn't get a picture. I wish I had. But, I did stop my worrying long enough to remember to grab the camera and snap a quick shot of the messy carpet. Good job me! Josh was at class, so I had to try and clean it all up by myself. Let me tell you, it was great fun. You can hear the sarcasm right?! Cause I'm laying it on pretty thick. I'm just glad that we haven't already gotten new carpet cause that would have really sucked!

OMG!!! Flash back of Chalynn stepping on the side of the bleach bottle and bleacing my NEW carpet in the dining room years ago. ARGH!

Oh my goodness! You know, that makes two big messes in two days. I'm sensing a trend. :0)
