Today was Enough to put any parent over the edge. I came out of our bathroom and saw Paulchen eating an orange. I commented on that and he said "Orange" in confirmation. Then I noticed some white spots on the floor and thought, "Please, not the formula powder again." I went to the kitchen and along the way found numerous white prints and a massive clump of white on the living room carpet. I stepped into the kitchen and froze at the sight. All over the kitchen was...
5lbs flour
5 lbs wheat flour
5 lbs sugar
2.5 lbs rock salt
.5 lbs Munster cheese
To give Paulchen credit, there was a bowl in the middle of the floor filled with flour, so I think he was trying to bake at first. It was after he didn't get anywhere with baking that he and Ava went crazy. I'm still finding dots of flour all around the apartment, where he must have thrown it.
What made the situation even worse, was that massive mess was the final straw for our vacuum cleaner. So we spent four hours driving down to Kaiserslautern and shopping for a new American vacuum cleaner. I spent a few extra dollars and bought a Shop Vac. I made sure I bought something that could handle children.
