As a naturally clean person who doesn't like messes, it takes all my strength to see the good in this chaos. BUT, I am trying. After work each day and before the kids come home, I try and wipe the counters and clean the floors and generally pick up. This particular day, I had done that and extra deep cleaning. B had other plans (as did Ads, see mess near sink that was done by the middle child making smoothies and ribs as an after school snack). Not only did I do some extra cleaning, B did some extra mess making (spilled half a bag of flower on the floor, opened sprinkles that left the counter covered in small balls of sugar , put the powdered sugar into the mix rather than the granulated sugar etc). It took a lot of patience (and a lot of cleaning), but I did my best to embrace his excitement to bake muffins. And in the end, the muffins were good, he was happy and the kitchen was once again clean.
