The Dangers of Hoarding

Harper hoards books in her bed, Sky hoards snow globes in a box. The hazards associated with such hoarding have caused for a long morning at our house.

After removing the 30 books from Harp's bed four times last night, I thought we were in the clear. Unfortunately, the books found their way back into Harper's bed sometime between 11pm last night and 7:30am this morning where we discovered Harper sitting among her books with a huge poopy diaper. Sadly, The Pigeon Has Feelings Too experienced a quick, stinky end. The girls were upset.

After a little bath, I got Harper dressed while Mike (who is luckily working from home today--lucky for me, not him) cleaned up Harper's bed. I called the girls to the kitchen for breakfast.

Sky thought it would be fun to have her snow globes at the table during breakfast, and so put them in a little box to protect them along the short walk from bedroom to table. The little box fell out of her hand before she even hit the kitchen, and two of three globes met their end as they smashed together in the little box. Her Hawaii souvenir from last fall and angel globe are done for. The lone survivor: a dollar store Easter globe.

It is now 9am. The washer is running and our ugly carpet is sparkling. Both kids are fed and semi-devastated. Here's to hoping for some better kid luck today!
