This is a site I’ve been contemplating starting for a little while now. It just seemed like a fun idea, given how crazy children can make you. I’ll start things off with a story that happened a short time ago today, that reminded me how much I needed to actually get this site going.

I’m watching my nieces today, as my sister and her husband clean their home after the California wildfires. That means I have one 6 year old, one 5 year old, one 4 year old and one 2 year old in the house. The oldest 3 are girls and get pretty wild when they’re together.

I heard the kids talking about it snowing in the living room. Given that they all have great imaginations, I was sucker enough to not think anything of it. But I finally went to check it out and really wished that I had brought my camera. It had indeed “snowed” in the living room, the source being a bag of polyfill I had bought to help make the tail for my son’s dragon costume for Halloween. It was spread out over the entire floor.

All you parents know how hard I had to try to not laugh as I scolded them and made them take a time out before cleaning up the mess. I did get a picture of the mess, of course, as you can see above.
