For Xmas Willow got this awesome jewelry making set. I say awesome because i make jewelry, so now she has her own so she won't bug me all the time. Anyhooter...the other day Willow was at school and Elwyn decided she wanted to make some jewelry (I don't know how she got the bead case out since it was in a location that was unreachable to her. Actually i take that back...she gets into things that i don't even know exist, so this was nothing). I kindly told Elwyn that we weren't going to play with Willow's beads and she said okay and turned to return the bead case to it's rightful location when she dropped the entire case and it went flying open and beads were strewn about the place. I was not happy. Elwyn was all about helping to clean them up, but since i am OCD everything needs to be in its exact location and nothing can be mixed. This did not matter to her. So the whole time i am trying to fight a nervous breakdown, she is throwing beads and yelling "Mom, clebe (clean) up." I knew i needed to get them cleaned up soon because Willow was due to be home any minute and she is almost more OCD than i am!!! I am happy to say i got them organized and back into their designated places before Willow came home. I even did it without sending Elwyn to time out...shocking, i know!!!
She sure is proud of herself

After I had cleaned up half of them already. I should have gotten a pic when they were all out
