The day of messy disaster!

So I have to tell you a story about what happened today...

When I came home from driving to Payson with Abby this morning it was time to feed Easton lunch. However, as soon as I got out of the car I could smell the stench of poop in our garage... You see, our cat has this habit of pooping on the floor RIGHT next to the litter box. This time it smelled really bad. So I walked inside and set all my stuff down and decided I would quickly pick it up before I fed Easton. He is usually fine if I leave him for a second to do something (run upstairs to grab him some clothes, take the trash out, etc.) So I grabbed a paper towel, picked up the poop and took it out to the trash can (I use the access door in the garage to get to our trash cans out back). Literally, it took me no more than a minute to do this.

When I came back in I opened the garage door to find a can of paint from the shelf in the laundry room knocked on the floor and SPILLED out everywhere. Gazing up, I follow the paint-stained foot steps to find my little boy covered in paint in the corner!

Thank goodness it was our tan paint from the walls in our living room and not the dark red paint from the walls in Easton's room.

Anywho, I quickly stripped off his clothes and took him over to the kitchen sink to rinse him down. I then went over to his highchair to feed him where I found dried up sticky banana and left over green beans all over the floor and chair. It just so happens to be a big pet-peeve of mine when I go to feed Easton and his chair is all messy! A little mess is ok, I'll let him get it dirty and then clean it up. The bananas, however, were pretty gross. I would like to thank David Workman for this little tid-bit since he seemed to be the guilty party in this mess.

Then, while Easton was eating (strapped in and not going anywhere), I went back out to the garage to clean out the rest of the littler box. I checked the bag I was going to use for holes because I have had the litter spill out the bottom of the bag before. It looked good so I dumped out all the old litter and put the new litter in the box. Then as I proceeded to throw away the old litter, I lifted the bag and saw tons of litter spilling out of the bottom! AHHHH!! I swear I had checked it!! I finally swept up all the litter and went back to check on my little boy. Usually if I leave him strapped in there too long I will come back to find bits of food thrown all over the floor. This is his way of telling me he is finished. To my surprise he was sitting happily in his chair finishing his last little bites. I think he knew mommy had enough and didn't make the mess he usually does... At least with his food that is :)
