Parenting Fail!

Remember those Cheerios from my car yesterday?  The ones that rained down all over it thanks to Liam?  Well I scraped them all up off the floor and stuffed them into an old Ziplock bag, along with some granola bar wrappers, old gum, and other assorted grossness found on the floor near the kid's carseats.  I dropped this bag into the laundry room trashcan on my way into the house last night after I returned from my 2nd Target trip of the evening.(thanks to Patrick and I leaving our shopping swag on the cart in the parking lot.)

Anyhow, as I was folding laundry on the dining room table this morning, I realized that it was VERY quiet all of the sudden, and I didn't know where the kids were.  I quickly located Laney watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on the couch, and then rounded the corner to the laundry room to find Liam.He was eating Cheerios...right out of the gross trash bag from the car. My stomach heaved as I ran for my camera (as all good moms do!)  Don't worry, I took the old ones (well, the ones that he didn't eat yet) away and gave him new, clean Cheerios.

At least he didn't eat the old wrappers and gum.  Damn I'm good at my job.
