There is one room in our house that is far more exciting than the others.
My heart always races a little the closer I get to it--especially if it's been a week or more since I've been in there.
I never quite know what I'm going to walk in to find in the Art Room. Sometimes it's play-doh everywhere, or paint, or the games all mixed up on the floor. The possibilities are endless!
The boys love to play in there, but if I'm not in there to control the mess, it will get out of control pretty quickly!
The other day I got about two steps in before I stepped in a puddle of goopy glue on the floor. Henry was trying to fix a toy that had broken and had managed to get a full bottle of glue on the floor and table in the process.
The toy, however, wasn't fixed.
I quickly shut the door and decided to deal with it later.
I went in the next day and was surprised, yet again, with my collection of buttons spread all over the floor. Apparently Henry was looking for more glue and knocked half of the stuff on my shelf off. He tried to clean it up, but it really was an awfully big mess for him to pick up.
Sadly, the toy still didn't get fixed and Henry has discovered how lovely buttons are, so I now have to share my collection with him.
I guess I should just be glad it's a pretty easy room to clean, and if nothing else I can just shut the door and deal with it another day--although that is a risky gamble!
