A series of posts on the great bead spill of 2012

Well, my girls are going have a fun day (possibly weekend). They spilled an entire large jar of fuse beads all over the kitchen.


So the girls got about 1/3 of the beads picked up, when W knocked the jar over again.


Someday my kids will be talking about their childhood and say, "hey, remember that time Mom made us spend ALLLLL day picking up beads we spilled?"


So yesterday's summation: The girls worked on picking up beads from 10-11:30, took a break for Crossfit and lunch, got back to work around 2 and worked on them until 5:30. No TV, no music, only potty breaks. By the end, they were both crying and apologizing and A noted that it's not fair that I usually have to clean up these sorts of messes by myself so they will more careful and more obedient next time.
