Cinderello(s)

A few days ago I was once more in the kitchen taking care of the odious every-day task of washing dishes. The boys were playing in the living room and abuelito was downstairs fixing one of the many cosmetic problems in my new house. This may seem like a normal mid-week morning but then, from the living room, came the ominous sound of silence.

I ignored it at first because I had my hands deep in soapy water and wanted to complete my task, but perhaps i shouldn't have. When I entered the living room in search of my quiet trouble-makers I found a black-mouthed Ronan and Jonas with his hands deep in the fireplace ashes. Ronan had apparently decided it was tasty to chew on blackened left-over pieces of douglas fir but Jonas seemed to think that this was an acceptable alternative to a sandbox. Both boys knew when they saw me however, that they were in trouble. My sweet little monsters had blackened by living room floor with their fun and I was not excited to have another cleaning task before me.

Looking back on this moment, however, I once more wish that my camera's battery charger had not dissappeared. It would have been quite nice to showcase a picture of this encounter with two petite cinderellos.
