I really should have seen it coming! Anytime I’m on-the-ball enough to have dinner in the crock pot by 9 am, I really should expect a disaster!
The day went along very smoothly and I was feeling GREAT! I patted myself on the back for how well things were going and for having dinner planned out and the little kids happily, helping in the kitchen. We went through most of the day without a hitch. Then, as I was coming back from the afternoon pick up, I got a phone call from Arianna that the floor felt slippery and she didn’t know how to clean it up. ”No problem, I’m almost home and I’ll see what it is and take care of it”.
2 hours later, I was still in my grubbies, on hands and knees, scrubbing doors, walls and floors. Luke-Xavier had found a spray bottle of orange oil that I use for the dinning table and had liberally sprayed it on any surface he came in contact with. Really, who can blame him?! It smelled SO good and made everything all shiny! Ah, the mind of a 2 yr. old. Well, you’re all invited over, ’cause everything is sparkling clean and smells like fresh, squeezed oranges…..even me!

Have a great day~

Too bad it wasn’t hard wood floors he was aiming at. Send him over here, we could use a good scrubbing!

Told you before you need to get these kids on your “doing chore lists”. Luke-Xavier wants to clean.

Seems to be a “citrus theme” lately

I’m waiting for a post about grapefruit or limes… Maybe something titled: “Put the Lime in the Coconut” hee hee!
