A Messy Christmas

Christmas break, an amazing time to spend mesmerizing moments with family. Unfortunately for me, while everyone was either on vacation or hanging out with friends I was stuck at home, babysitting two evil snotty children. Well I shouldn’t say both of them are snotty, its mostly the little boy, Carson… Carson is my little 4 year old cousin. The reason my eye twitches on occasion. But if I had to pick one word to describe him he is spoiled. Presents are under the tree. As far as the eye can see! Yea. Half of then had his name on them.
Back to the story! It was a cool morning when I was rudely thrown out of bed, to be told that everyone was leaving and I had to stay and watch the kids. There was plenty of stuff for them to do. But why they decided to do the most destructive messy craft in the house? It blows my mind. "ginger bread houses, and cookies!" they screamed. While I got the cookies ingredients ready I had them set out the candy and ginger bread houses. While we made the cookie dough Carson and Avery. Avery being my 2 year old misfit. Were putting the ingredients into the pot. Eggs, sugar, milk, and flour. So much flour. The kids thought it would be funny to use the flower as show! How fun. Flower on the floor! Flower on the couch! Flower on the dog! FLOUR EVERYWHERE!
After that messy craft, I sent the kids off for their afternoon nap. While they were sleeping I decided to head down stairs to watch some movies on my laptop. After about 2 hours I walk up stairs to see a not so great Christmas surprise. Piper, my dog had managed to climb on the counters to where our beautiful ginger bread houses and cookies were drying. And a sick, fat dog laying on the ground begging for more treats… well l maybe next Christmas the kids will be a little sincere
