Child For Rent

When I was planning this post last night I told Ben the title was going to be "Nicholas Was Here." Most of these pictures fit that perfectly. However, after the last picture happened today, I thought I would offer him out as a rental to anyone who needs a helper this week. All of these events happened either yesterday or today.

This first one was when Nicholas was my laundry helper. Apparently he thinks it is helpful to empty his drawers when I'm not looking.

Next is what happens when you leave the room for a minute when cooking dinner. Those are the cashews I had all measured out and ready to go into the dinner.

You might be wondering about this one. I could not find my phone anywhere. When Ben got home I had him call my phone and he laughed and said, "It would have taken you days to find it." He was right. My little helper dropped it in a hard to find place.

This is the one that really got me mad. I spent all morning making treats for my Discovery Toys party tonight. I came around the corner and found Nicholas on a chair "stirring" my bars. The entire pan should be the nice golden brown color that the edges are, but since they had just come out of the oven, the chocolate and caramel were still really gooey and made a huge mess. Notice the edge of the stove and floor...

Ok, so you know I am joking about renting him out, but days like this make me thankful he takes a nap (and has a dad that gets to watch him while I go to my party tonight!) :)
