messes x 2

So if I didn't think that it might get me in trouble I thought about making the title of this post "kids for sale". I love my children and saying that I would sell them is only a joke, but after the cleaning up their messes tonight I am as close as I would ever be to actually wanting to sell them.
So we were playing in the back yard this evening and I came inside to get more balls and to look for a part of Monkey's t-ball stand. So soon after that Danielle had a batch of cookies done so everyone came in.
The two little stinkers finished their cookies and then went out in the front yard. The garage door was open so of course they ended up in the garage. Later Danielle went and looked out the front window at the stinkers and called out to me "Cindy, the are playing with something orange and gooey." I go out and they had found the wood glue and had spilled it all over the steps and were dipping the baseballs in it. I got most of it sprayed off with water but needed the scrub brush to get some of the dryer bits off. (I probably got some pretty funny looks scrubbing off my front steps!) I come inside and ask Danielle where the kids are and then hear them upstairs. Because I am already cleaning up a mess so Danielle goes up to check on them. Turns out they were in her room playing with her lotion. I don't think I have ever been so grateful for a pump in my life. I feel bad that they have played with her lotion, but all I can think is that it could have been a lot worse.
And now the kids are playing with a computer that Spencer brought home to fix for someone.
I love my kids. I really do, but at this moment I could use a break, but instead I am going to go hand wash all of my silverware.
