More Like A Moose

While I was away this past weekend for our annual women's retreat, Matt was home with our 7 kids. At one point in the day most of the kids were downstairs watching a movie together and "watching Elijah" so that Dad could get some things done. Well, the watching part did not last too long and Elijah went up to the kitchen. Elijah loves to play that he is cooking so when he found a tub of butter and a bag of powdered sugar on the kitchen counter he decided to have some fun.

The end result of this fun was that Dale enjoyed some of the tub of butter and the powdered sugar was ALL over the kitchen floor. Not in one spot of course but EVERYWHERE. I'm told that little feet marks of powdered sugar were everywhere. Matt of course found Elijah and was less than happy with the babysitting abilities of our children. As Justin relayed this situation to me on Saturday night I asked if dad had a cow when he saw the mess. Justin calmly replied, "No...more like a moose." I guess I can be grateful that my kitchen is clean, my husband did not leave and that all 7 children are still alive.
