Bead Mama, uh-oh!

Sunday evening Billy had a stake priesthood meeting so I got to hassle the boys through dinner and getting to bed. Princess is usually very well behaved this time of night so that she can sneak off and do what she wants while the boys are being shuffled around and fighting us at every turn. Just as we were brushing teeth and getting ready for prayers I realized I didn't know where Princess was. The boys keep me so busy that I can't keep track of all of them at one time. Billy does all the kids at bedtime better than I do.
So I went to find Princess when I noticed my bedroom door was open and there was a funny clinking sound coming from the open door.

This is what I found!

Look Mama, uh-oh!
Look closely for the beads, can you see them? Yeah, it's hard isn't it!
So now we're both doing it. (she's sleepy, it's after bed time!)

I even got Billy to help for a little while when he got home, but he wanted to just buy new beads and vacuum these ones up. I kept thinking I'll just clean up the easy ones and then be done, but I kept finding new little piles whenever I would moved carpet. I ended up with a back pain and rug burns on my elbows. Seriously I need to learn when to stop! (Apparently I do fit the OCD profile ;)!)

Just one more example of Princess loving pretty things! At first she was helping but she kept dumping them back out and saying "pre-y, pre-y!" So I put her to bed and cleaned them up on my own! Funny little girl!

Once again, thinking about blogging is my way of coping, it makes me laugh more and get mad less!
