The Real Circle of Life

Honestly, I ignore a countertop for a day or two and this is what happens:

Hey, I know!  Let’s play I Spy!

I Spy some Legos, some Nerf darts, a plate,

G Homework, a chrysalis, a sock that needs a mate.

A bag of parade candy, a stuffed guinea pig,

Dried cornflakes, dried milk, and a dried out twig.

Broken sunglasses, a t.v. remote,

A blue sippy cup and a navy blue coat.

Two days worth of mail and a matchbox car

The  covered up color of our breakfast bar.

Wow!  That was fun!

So then I cleaned it up.  Maddie was even able to (unhappily) do her homework without taking her arm and sliding piles of stuff out of her way.

 

[By the way, can You Spy the Smartie in the picture above? (the candy, not my daughter)]

Unfortunately, now Jack has taken over the coffee table in the living room. 


Here we go again…
