Lesson learned

There is a rule at our house: NO EATING OR DRINKING ANYTHING ON CARPET. This rule was put into place when our children were born. It isn't a new rule, but somehow they think if they sneak up the stairs the back way we won't know they snuck it upstairs. I have to admit sometimes I let it slide. If it is a bottle of water it can't really hurt, or if I am done with kids and I just want them to bed. Yesterday morning when I woke the girls up Olivia was sleeping on a towel. I asked her why? "I spilled my Gatorade". Seriously? I gave them a pep talk about the rule and told them a water bottle was fine but nothing else.


Skip to this morning. I went to wake up the girls (sound familiar). McKinley was covered with something. It was all over her face. I thought at first she had a bloody nose in the night. Not so, it was chocolate! She had fallen asleep on a dark chocolate square. I was laughing to hard to get mad. Instead I took a picture.


I made her go into my room and show Aaron. He laughed and said, "That's the chocolate I gave you". It is him. He is sneaking candy up to them after they go to bed. I think he should have to wash the sheets.

That is the funniest thing I have ever seen! One time when I was little on Halloween night I fell asleep with a sugar daddy sucker and when I woke up it was stuck in my hair! My mother has a picture of it. Mckinley does not look very happy!

My face is breaking out just looking at that picture!

And of course it's Aaron. He's such a troublemaker.

I think as punishment he should have to wear his jammies and church shoes and ride his bike around the block. --Andrew

Kathie said...

Thanks! That totally made me laugh! I'm still laughing.---I would have taken a picture too and not gotten mad at her but then I would totally chew out the hubby, well I would try if I wasn't laughing too much!

Kelli said...

That is the funniest thing. Troy and I are laughing so hard. Sorry Kinney!

Nikki said...

That is hysterical. I am still laughing. Why do daddy's always get to be the nice guy.

It almost looks like road rash. I would have had tiny moment of panic.

Larissa said...

That is hilarious. How did she sleep through that? That would have awakened me so fast. Yuck. I am so glad you have that picture. Someday she is going to laugh about it. That's great!

I just have to say that if one of my kids woke up in the morning covered in a strange, dark brown substance, my first thought would have been poop!

Ashly said...

It looks like she fell or something! But it is soooo LOL!!!!

Busted. Nothing like solid proof. That picture was worth a thousand words.

That is such a funny picture! You have to pull that out when she's engaged and show her fiance. That's a good way to get back at her.

You have to watch Aaron. I always thought he was kind of sneaky and didn't like rules. just kidding Aaron, I know you're reading this.
