My Formula

I've always had this formula in my head that goes something like this:

If the time it takes to play something is greater than the time it takes to clean it up, then I'm willing to let the kids have fun.

My formula backfired yesterday. It took a little longer to clean up than I thought!

So, the kids are having fun. You can always clean it up:)
Sometimes it is better not to think about the formula.

Way to let them just play and not worry about the mess. :)

Oh well! at least it provided a photo op! They look happy and carefree...as childhood should be!

Does Mike have or want a shop vac? Looks like the perfect commercial spot for one! Great picture!

SO GLAD I read this post...I have a box just like that full of puffy packing material and it is sitting in the family room. The girls have been begging me to let them play with it and I've been considering it...I just reconsidered.
