Apparently, Jaxton decided to move on to bigger and better things. He decided to open and dump about five bags of various kinds of beans all over the floor in the living room. (Click on image to enlarge)
When I walked into the living room Kelseanja was asleep in the chair (because she is sick today) and Austin and Jaxton were making 'snow angels' in the beans causing beans fly in every direction. I swept the bulk of the beans into a a couple piles and set the boys to cleaning them up by putting the beans in large Ziplock bags. I was thinking that maybe we could turn this mess into bean bags later. Then I made the mistake of walking out of the room for a few minutes to catch my cool and call Kelsea's school to excuse her.
That is when the real 'extreme' mess happened...
When I was finished with the call, I walked back in to find the boys had cleaned up most of the beans, but then I saw the kitchen. While I was on the phone with the school, Jaxton decided to see what else he could play with in the pantry. Here is that recipe:
1 Jaxton
Some More Beans
1/3 bag of powdered sugar
1 lb of flour
Mix this altogether and you get:

AHHHHH! At least he didn't combine the brown sugar and the shortening into the mix. I keep reminding myself that it could have been worse and he is only a baby. I managed to keep my cool and cleaned up the mess. Then gave Jaxton a bath and put him down for a nap. (Note to self: Don't talk on phone unless Jaxton is asleep!)
Now you might wonder why I don't just invest in some door knob covers. Well, for most kids Jaxton's age that would work, but Jaxton is very smart and can open those already. Believe me, I have tried. And to think he isn't even two yet. It is going to be fun!
