52/100

Ways my kids have made messes today:

Tackling each other into piles of freshly folded laundry
Picking up handfuls of grass and dropping them into their kiddie pool (Grass soup)
Bringing in handfuls of grass to "wipe their feet with" before going inside
Tracking in muddy/grassy/wet feet through the kitchen on the way to the bathroom
Forgoing the bathroom altogether and just standing in the garage, peeing on the concrete (Owen)
Bringing a handful of dirt into their bedroom, them slowly stomping it into smaller pieces
Breaking all of their crayons into small pieces
Taking pieces of newspapers and printer paper and cutting them up into confetti-sized bits in the library for no apparent purpose
Yanking all the books around the one book they want off the shelf into a big pile on the floor, and then leaving all the books on the floor
Filling up plastic baggies full of water and throwing them against things
Running the powder room sink until it nearly overflows while they "wash their hands"
Playing in the ashes and cinders of the firepit
Touching their own poop (Owen)
Pulling of long sections of toilet paper to use as capes
Pulling handfuls of dirt out of the houseplants
Pulling handfuls of dirt out of the diorama we made for homeschool
Bringing in additional handfuls of dirt and stones from outside to add to the diorama we made for homeschool
Walking around in the basement in sockfeet/barefeet, then tracking it back upstairs into the kitchen
Sloshing water out of the bathtub
Searching for clothes in their dresser by pulling out anything that might be on top of the desired item/then leaving it on the floor
Using clothing as a napkin (Owen)
Using his own hair as a napkin (Owen)
Using my shirt as a kleenex (James and Owen)
Bringing a bucket full of legos into our bedroom and leaving them on the floor
Pouring themselves cups of water and then knocking them over with their elbows
Pulling all of the cushions and pillows off the couch
Refusing to eat the cone part of the ice cream cone, just sticking as much of their face as will fit inside
Noise pollution
Trailing any pairs of earbuds they might find behind them like a tail
Eating huge bites of an apple, then needing to spit it out into someone's hand. (Or onto the table)
Repeated changes from outside clothes to tiger costumes without ever putting clothes away/in the hamper
Spitting up on shoulders/down fronts/down backs (Felix)

Bonus quote: "YES! The Iron Giant is mine favorite AND thcary!"
