Someone Else's Serendipity

I'm fairly certain that whoever discovered oatmeal's healing and rejuvenating skin benefits had a 2 year-old old...and that he or she fed that 2 year-old oatmeal for breakfast.

Unfortunately, these benefits do not extend to my table, chairs, windows, walls, floors, clothes, cabinets, blinds, eyeglasses, or counter tops.

(This photo does not do justice to the clean-up task I have after cooking oatmeal--even when Liesl is doing well with her table manners.)

We've been having some c-r-a-z-y times these last few weeks. I plan to post pictures and stories of our vacation week--we vacationed at home. It was fun, but not nearly as relaxing as we had hoped!
