Little Helpers...too much help?

Help making Dinner...that would be grated cheese scattered all over the counter and floor. And then Vivian trying to put tubberware into our little toaster oven and turn it on...lovely.
This is how Derek and I paid heavily for our ten minutes of peace since the girls had gone upstairs and weren't bothering us so we left them alone for a while to find that they had helped to redecorate the bathroom. They had poured out their bath toys, emptied some of the containers from the cabinet, and even helped with a fresh coat of 'paint' in the form of my foundation makeup. This was just a lesson hit home: If it's too quiet, be afraid...very afraid.



Last of all, and this one wasn't so bad, but the girls helped to wash our car. They had a blast but I think that the sidewalk and their clothes got more soap than the actual car.
