This is how we do it

Are you kidding me?

Less than 24 hours after I posted the pictures of our house...

This...

plus this...

equals this...

Remember my WARNING in the last post: Beware of falling objects- yeah, that one? Well, here you go! Proof that I need a sign with that warning on my front door. Beckham has been known to drop a toy over the edge of that balcony. Any small toy that can fit through the bars will do. He drops it over and watches it fall down to the entry hall below. Then he squeals (like only Beckham can squeal) with delight as he hears the big crash at the end. We have had toy cars, play food, all of Madison's hair barrettes, a collection of rocks, small puppies (pretend of course), various books, and many other small objects falling down on the floor below. Usually it is whatever toy they have left out while playing together just outside of their bedrooms. Never, (never say never) has he gone into our bathroom and gotten the brand new, sealed, never been used soap that resides under the sink. Well, this day, that is just what he decided to do, and who knew it would fit so perfectly between the railings of that balcony. Really people, if you knew the amount of money we have spent on baby... I mean... Beckham proofing our house!

Now one might think, oh, that is just a couple bottles of soap, no harm in that, soap probably cleans up really easily right? ...WRONG! That is thick, clear, concentrated, real soap that busted ALL OVER the hard wood floors and wall. I thought I would just wipe it up and be done but OH NO, it took me nearly an hour and plenty of elbow grease to get MOST of the soap cleaned up. Still, to this day, nearly a week later, I get suds that form every time I mop that area. It is stuck in the small little cracks between floor planks. I have used toothbrushes, fingernails, vacuums, lots of water, and lots of wiping and wiping but I still get suds. And it's not like the nice watery, help you with your moping kind of suds. It is the thick, filmy, white, never goes away, mop and mop and mop and it is still there kind of suds.

And then, to top it all off, I decided maybe I needed to prove just how hard it is to clean up soap and how easy it is to clean up...say.... Spaghetti Sauce. Yeah, that's right, I dropped the jar of spaghetti sauce on the ground just minutes after cleaning up Beckham's disaster. Oh, and for your information, it was WAY easier to clean up than the soap!
