What a mess!

Yesterday was full of messes at the Manly household. First, Katie decided to make hot chocolate by boiling everything (including marshmallows) in a pot on the stove top. She didn't even consider what would happen as the marshmallows started to expand...well let's just say we had a mushroom of marshmallows that overflowed onto the entire stove top. Ok, not so bad. Mess #2 came from our loving son who peed through his diaper and onto our new couch. Good thing we bought the expensive cleaning kit. We'll see how it works. Mess #3 was by far the worst and most bizarre. Ok, so we made chicken salads, and as usual, I(Katie) used my favorite Sturkey's dressing. I finished off one bottle and opened a new one. It's a creamy vinaigrette so I needed to shake it. I was doing an ultra-cool-salad-dressing-shaking dance for Jackson because he thought it was funny, and I noticed that it began to fizz up like a soda bottle would if you shook it. So, being the intelligent person I am, I took it into the sink to open it. But, as I continued to open it, it was frothing so furiously that I thought I would lose all of the dressing down the drain. Just then, the cap exploded off like a champagne bottle top and hit the ceiling above, along with adjacent walls and counter top, as well as the floor and everywhere else imaginable (all over me,too). Here's a picture that doesn't do it justice, but will give you a taste of what we had to clean up. Mess #4 was a fun episode of emptying my stomach into the commode last night. Where that came from, I have no clue. Last, Jackson pooped through his diaper, outfit and swaddling blanket and onto my hand in the wee hours of the morning.

What a day!
