Insight into my life with kids

It also will slowly drip off any Ficus tree that may be near by. It can cover approximately a thousand square feet, and can easily be hidden carpet to be found later by stocking feet. It can also annoy your dog.



Ever wonder what covers more square feet than cheesy chicken tortilla soup?


An entire container of sprinkles.

Our Lil' Family replied: Thanks for the laugh Tara!!!!

TheOaf66 replied: well sloppy joes don't cover that square footage but I think the damage factor is more intense

CantWait replied: Oh gosh. Thanks for the chuckle Tara.

A&A'smommy replied: The both look devastated Those are PRICELESS pictures!!

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: We live the same life Tara. I was just removing spaghetti o's stuck to my socks. And picking pretzels out of the carpet and from under the couch. My boys have gotten into my spices before and did the same as Ben did with the sprinkles, but it was tumeric, a fun orange staining spice. So not fun.

Love the dog pic, priceless!

PrairieMom replied: When Ben spilled the sprinkles I was already at my whitts end with him, I just yelled BEN!!!!! took a breath, then gave him the look... and told him Don't..... move.
Def had to get the camera for that one.

on a side note, did you know, that if you use a vacuum to clean up sprinkles, some with suck up, but some will shoot out the back of the vacuum and can fly as far as 15 feet? You learn something new every day.

TheOaf66 replied:
that also happens with cat litter which is why we had to get a vacuum that you can turn the brush off and just use the suction....we learned that the hard way to Tara

Boo&BugsMom replied:
Yep, same with cat litter. Crap, Troy beat me to it!

Thanks for the laugh.

PrairieMom replied:
how do you turn the brush off?

Calimama replied: Oh man that's a TON of sprinkles!

5littleladies replied: I feel your pain. I just finished sweeping up a half a bag of hamster food combined with a half of a canister of parmesan cheese.

lisar replied: OMG.... To funny. The sprinkles kill me. Sorry Tara I had to laugh. Raygen has done that with carpet fresh powder on the kitchen floor.

It about killed one of us, won't say which one.

That was the first day as a mother that the kids literally drove me to drink. Thank you bartles and james!

lovemy2 replied:
OK now I am ROFL - the pics were good but that is priceless things are rough out there in the prarie in SD aren't they? I wouldn't have even guessed you had a vacuum cleaner

MommyToAshley replied:

Thanks for the good laugh. It's a good thing that Moms are built with a sense of humor.

PrairieMom replied:
I do, but I have to hitch it to my horse, then you get hoof prints all in the carpet... its just a PITA.

Crystalina replied: omg, that's hilarious.....because it's your house and not mine.



Use the hose on the vacuum instead. Give it to him and have him do it next time while you clean up the bowl mess. LOL That will keep him busy. My kids love to vacuum.

PrairieMom replied:
our hose has been ripped to shreds, and no longer works, that whas the day I thought " gee, it sure would be nice to have a hose to get all these darn jibbetts out from under the hutch..." There were so many on the floor that even the dog gave up helping me clean it up.

luvmykids replied: Oh what a great day at your house, thanks for the laugh!

Just a heads up....if you drink coffee, don't EVER leave the can of coffee out. It will have you wishing for sprinkles

My3LilMonkeys replied:
You get the same problem trying to vacuum up Kix....the stupid things roll everywhere and get even farther under the furniture.

MoonMama replied:

PrairieMom replied: I am so glad I'm not alone in this.

Calimama replied:
Oh I HATE Kixs for that reason!! The vacuum spits them back out and then I have to keep Miabella from trying to shove those in her mouth!! Come on kid, you didn't want them in the first place that's why they were on the floor!!
