That time the kids took the cinnamon challenge...and then protected thehouse from sunburn...

This morning, I was feeling in a Christmas-y mood, so I decided to put some Scentsy "Cinnamon Bear" on the warmer.

 I put a movie on for Beacon and Liam Atticus was eating breakfast so I sat down to do some math with Huck. I noticed LA wasn't eating so I grabbed some cinnamon from the spice rack, sprinkled a little in his oatmeal, set it on the counter and went back to doing math with Huck. When LA had finished eating, I got him down and sent him into the living room so I could finish up with Huck. I'm starting to think that the house is smelling nice and cinnamon-y and thinking how great Scentsy is when I walk into the living room to check on the kids and find this:

And then this:

And yes, those are my clean clothes that I was planning to hang up this afternoon. Evidently, LA had stealthily grabbed the cinnamon from the counter (yes, he's that tall now) and taken it to Beacon, who, in his infinite 3-year-old wisdom, decided that it would be a good idea to dump the entire thing on the couch. Atticus then rolled in it, dragged his blankets through it, and proceeded to clean it up by licking it. I sent Beacon to timeout while I vacuumed. Thankfully, most of the cinnamon vacuumed up fairly well....except for the spot LA had licked. That part is still brown. It actually locks like that whole cushion has a mild tan....and a birthmark on the licked spot.

As I'm typing this, Huck comes running into the kitchen and says, "Hey Mom, Liam Atticus just sprayed sunscreen all over himself and the clothes (that I just folded)"....

...and the couch, and the vacuum that I had just pulled out to vacuum up the cinnamon and the coffee table)...

...and later on, I found it down the hallway as well.

I laughed so hard that I cried...
