Yesterday was a particularly trying day with our children. The worst thing that happened, however, was when I went downstairs to check on what they were doing and I found the office covered in all of the paper from our shredder (which was in desperate need of emptying, by the way). It was in the keyboard, on the TV, in the VCR/DVD player, in the book case, and covering every inch of the floor. This is a picture of a small section of the floor to demonstrate the level of frustration in cleaning it all up:
The clincher was that when I came in they told me how they were playing in the snow. They even provided examples by throwing "snowballs" at me, and did snow angels on the ground in it. Let's just say that after 3 1/2 hours of cleanup (they also tracked it all over the rest of the house) I did not think it was quite as funny as many of you may think it is. That is why I am blogging about it. I hope that someone will find humor in it...PS We had church after this happened and as I was leaving Relief Society, I glanced back to make sure I hadn't left anything, and there were three or four small shredded pieces underneath my chair.

Audrey! I can't imagine that mess. I sigh every day as Jane dumps out her box of toys, but at least they are TOYS and not bits of paper getting spread all over the house. However, from my removed place I did smile to think of them throwing snowballs...and to think of the bits that followed you to church :)
