keep it away from the kids!

Because of Sammy's allergies, and because Sammy friendly cereals are rare and get boring to eat... we have non Sammy cereals for the good of Jeremy and Ada's sakes.  I've started keeping them on our counter because Sammy has discovered that he can get his own cereal out of the cupboard.  Along with the non Sammy cereals, I also put the messy ones too... like Rice Chex and Rice Krispies.  After explaining to Jer that I was putting Sammy's messy cereals up there so that he doesn't spill them and smash them all over the kitchen every morning we decided to have cereal for dinner.  We don't do that often because there are not many cereals that I can have, not many that Sammy can have, and both Ada and Sammy like to eat cereal for breakfast.  I got cereal and milk poured for the kids, Jer brought down the baby and got her settled, made a bowl for himself and I went in search for something for me to eat.  We blessed the food and the baby started crying... put in her binkie... try to eat dinner... Ada asked for more cereal... Sammy asked for more cereal... baby started crying again.  So, I said that the baby would have to wait for a second because I was trying to get Ada some cereal and finish my dinner as fast as I could... which means that I was eating my sandwich with my right hand and trying to pour Ada some Rice Krispies with my left... And I ended up pouring half the box into her lap and onto the floor.  Nice... "Yeah, keep it away from the kids... we might end up with a mess if we don't..." So, trying not to laugh too hard, Jer cleaned up the floor, I cleaned up Ada... who did not cry to her credit... and we finally got to pick up the crying baby.
