oh man!!! Isn’t it always like that when you say something rarely if ever happens, it’s bound to happen straight away!! By the way, love that you’ve got tennis balls on the chair legs!!
Over three years we’ve had those beads and they’ve never been dumped!
The tennis balls are in the IKEA high chair – great for sliding but I do worry his older brothers may slide the baby duck a little too quickly one day
Wow. Okay, I’ve changed my mind. LEGO is okay (because the Little Man is diligent about keeping it in his room), but no beads. Ever. EVER.
Lol it was a gong show! 4 pm, trying to get dinner ready, beads all over the kitchen…it took an hour to clean the damn things up and involved a massive battle of wills . I have no idea where the monkey gets his stubborn from
ugh! And I was just thinking perler beads might be fun…
They are!!! We have a garland of all the ones the firefighter has completed in the basement and they’re so bright and cheerful. The monkey has been banned from touching then for a while though: I don’t think I could handle another bead rain fall
Jinxed…? (I’m not really superstitious.)
I don’t think I ever banned anything, but if I/you were to ask my children, they might remember it differently. I guess I will have to ask them
Weapons are on the banned list too although I don’t know why I bother sometimes since they can turn just about anything into a brother assault weapon.
My three year old did this with glass seed beads. And then after I vacuumed, a few days later, she took one and chewed it. Like “Crunch crunch” chewed. And swallowed.
Hello, ER!
Oh no!!! I am still waiting for our first foreign-object-in-orifice incident and broken bone (knocks furiously on wood)
Unreal…I do remember and love those things! And a garland of the finished product such a great idea!!
There was a stack of them on the counter for months and I hate throwing them out because he works so hard. I got a wire curtain rod from IKEA and they’re dangling from the clips on one of the walls in the play room
Yikes!! That just made me feel better about my day
They are beastly to clean up. I will admit to vacuuming up the last 10% after 45 minutes of chasing minute beads around the kitchen with a broom while cursing under my breath and trying to deep breathe (instead of snort fire).
I’m a bit behind in my blog reading… but I HAD to comment here. This cracked me up…. and Oh, that glitter. I’m a teacher and parents come up to me and say “thanks a LOT for the glitter” . Hah!
I’m open minded about a lot of arts and crafts chaos but glitter is just a no go. It’s like the relative that just won’t up and leave no matter how many hints you drop when dinner is done
