Cheerios Everywhere

You can find at least one Cheerio in every single room of this house. This morning, I found one Cheerio under my covers, at the foot of my bed.  There was one outside of my 11 year old's room.  One morning, as I undressed and changed my baby's diaper, I did notice he was covered in Cheerios under his pajamas.  He slept with them stuck to his stomach all night, poor little thing.  This afternoon, there were hundreds of Cheerios all over my dining room floor--thanks to my 8 year old (he eats his cereal without milk, spilling them on the carpet), I was hoping the baby would crawl around and gobble them up!  Today I accidentally spilled a baggie of them into the diaper bag.  I better go clean those up!  Oh, and my minivan--that is the Cheerio-mobile.  My dad stopped by today and commented on Cheerios being on the floor.  It drives me batty!  I vacuum every day.  Sometimes twice a day.  This is how life is right now.

I'm trying not to wish the time of young, messy kids and babies away.  As much as I hate cleaning and getting the guys to pick up after themselves, I don't want them to grow too soon.  The day I have Cheerio-less, spotless carpets will be a very sad day.  I will miss these little signs of life around my messy house.
