Top Ten {Tuesday}: Messes I Don’t Wanna Clean Up

I’m not usually chomping at the bits to clean up any mess. But sometimes there are messes you don’t want to clean up because well, they aren’t JUST messes. So, here’s my TOP TEN MESSES I DON’T WANNA CLEAN UP…

1. Asa’s box o’Cars books. He packs all the mini books into it, stands up with it in his hand and says, “Bye, bye!” Seriously, how did he get so grown up? He’s saying sentences all the time. My favorite is “Minutes? G’asses? Up, Mommy?” Which is roughly translated, “How many minutes before you are going to put on your glasses and get out of the bed, Mommy?”

2. My Little House on the Prairie ticket stubs. Lydia still talks about the show and wears her bonnet all the time. She even wore it blueberry picking last week. I love seeing her desire the sweet and not the sassy.

3. Laundry. Lydia and I accidentally on purpose wore the same outfit on Saturday. She was so excited. It made me almost…uncomfortable. She so wants to be like me. *gulp*

4. Cornstarch and sugar on the counter. Lydia, Asa and I made a blueberry pie tonight. (A product of the aforementioned blueberry picking.) Asa had cornstarch all over his head, his face and his clothes. He absolutely loves to cook with me.

5. Sheetrock dust. My husband actually installed some hardware we’ve been needing in the house since we moved in! OVER A YEAR AGO.

6. Lydia’s stickers. She has been keeping a chart since she got went to the dentist entitled, “I Don’t Suck My Thumb!” It is now filled with stickers. She is an official NON-thumb-sucker! I have to admit, I kinda liked my thumb-sucker.

first time we ever saw Lydia suck her thumb

7. My books. With my I Want To Be Wilder epiphanies I’ve been devouring books about all sorts of things—and not a one of ‘em is a novel. This is in fact, novel.

8. The mail. I just got a giftcard to Chipolte from AtlMomGuide.com! And John Adams from Netflix. Sadly, that sounds like a date night waiting to happen.

9. My computer. The four of us played with photobooth this weekend. How cute are we?!

10. The dishes. Because honestly, who does?!
