Pumpkin in my carpets

I decided to be all creative and try a new recipe for pumpkin muffins.  They ended up being really good, but I had my 2 year old, a 1 1/2 year old, and Sammy with me... all of whom wanted some.  I gave them each a half and then went upstairs to get the laundry... bad idea.  Both the toddlers decided to not only follow me but to bring their muffins along with them.  Ada's wasn't too bad... her muffin was still in the bowl I gave her... but she had it all over her hands and so there were orange, semi-sticky hand prints all the way up the stairwell.  The other little girl though... she spilled it half way up... which means that pieces of it fell all the way down the stairs, so she sits down to go back down the stairs which just squishes all that pumpkin and chocolate into all the stairs.  Yeah... getting orange, squishy stuff out of your tan colored carpet is an adventure.
