Before you ask "What was Danika doing?" when you view these photos allow me to explain. In general, I don't believe in toys. They cost money, make a mess and stunt imagination. Not having a load of toys for my girls also motivates me to get out of the house and do things with them. As such, the girls are pretty good at coming up with their own entertainment around here. Ireland really likes to play with the pots and pans and shut herself in the cupboard. Hearing her bang around in the kitchen isn't unusual.
Apparently Brent did some rearranging a few days ago. He moved the cake flour from high on a shelf to inside one of the lower cupboards. If Ireland gets into anything, it's the cereal... she's never even attempted anything else. Also, Liesel is a pretty good snitch. Not much goes down without my knowing it around here. All these things created the perfect storm.
I'd heard the banging of pots and pans for the last 10 minutes or so when Liesel was suddenly by my side. "Uhmmm, Ireland's makin' a MESS" reported my favorite informant. She often says this when Ireland had just pulled a few pots and pans out onto the floor. Still, I thought I'd better check it out and was met with this scene:

When I pulled out the camera Ireland immediately cracked a smile and said "CHEESE!" as if she were so very proud of what she had done.
As the video shows, Liesel also aknowledges when Ireland "cleans up" so I guess she's not a total snitch! Oi, anyone know how to get cake flour out of a tulle skirt?

Ha ha! I love Liesel's voice in the video. How cute that she tells you Ireland is making a mess and then cleaning it up :)
HAHAHAHA! AWESOME! I love it even more because there are pictures of Joey doing the same thing at nearly the same age in his baby book. My favorite part of this post? Liesel narrating the video! Love those girls! SO CUTE!
I had to smile because I have had a few flour incidences. I have always taken out my camera and taken pictures and every time the kids or kid thinks it is the greatest thing in the world. Now if I could only think it is funny when Elizabeth squeezes half the toothpaste bottle out and smears it all over her body and then complains of the tingles. Kids.
A-ha ha ha ha! So totally awesome. I can just feel your annoyance when you answered Liesel. Ireland looks so at home.
The video is SUPER cute! She is totally enjoying herself. And in my opinion, toys or no toys, kids make messes. Just depends on what type of mess you'd like to clean up!
