Yep! *grin* The only time I'm interjecting myself, silently, to glare is when there's a threat of violence. Of the little boy sort, just yelling and whacking. They went with the butterscotch.

And now they will learn what the word "PREheat" means. They are just starting the oven.

Hope you're not planning on going anywhere....

Nope, staying here till work. Mick went to hunt the groceries. Cookies are in, and they have started the oven. Or are trying to, there's a lot of beeping going on .

If you see a bomb squad guy fleeing the building, grab the boys and follow him

Yeah.

LOL I meant that Coradel would find her way to the dining room!

Oh! Sorry. 🙂

......and they used the microwave as a timer, but not with the timer function, so the potatoes I had in there are now brickettes. *chuckle*

And they have taken the cookies out. They are not cooked. The boys seem ok with this.

Oh, good grief.

They are now trying a clean up.

Oh lord.

Well, when I smelled the potatoes I went in and got them out. That interrupted the 'timer' they were using and they had no idea how long the cookies had been in, so they're cutting their losses, I think.

See what you've done

They've buggered off upstairs; not sure if they actually DID any clean up.

Oh dear.

Hmm...that might seem like unfair player knowledge, but she was basing it off the cartwheels. 🙂

I have summoned them to clean the kitchen. *wry*

Ugh. Sorry you had to do that.

He also wears fool's clothing 🙂

Ah, yes...that was mentioned, wasn't it. 🙂

*shrug* Par for the course, really, and TBH if an 8 & 11 yo tried to make cookies solo I'd -expect- there to be a redirect on the clean up.

And a summoning! (Pictures Shady making a pentacle in the kitchen floor) "I summon the imps born of my womb! Thing 1, Thing 2, come clean this room! I command, I conjure! I demand, I abjure! A shot of work, messiness will cure!" Then cackle

*Awed*

Dude. You're amazing. And scary.

SERIOUSLY. WHAT SHE SAID.

Yeah, but i have no USEFUL skills. I'd be thrown off the island fast 🙂

Nah, we'd keep you around for entertainment!

Yeah, a quick mind and a talent with rhyme...no practical use at all in this advertisement-heavy world.

I will admit, to this day I break out laughing at the old snickers commercial with the old guy painting the football field end zone.

Normally commercials annoy me, but get me to laugh and I forgive much

Make a note, Shades: next time we botch, we'd better have a knee-slapper ready to have it forgiven!

*writes it down*

GAH....I just screwed that up, didn't I?

They're sibs, but not twins. Want me to edit that?

Could be fraternal twins 🙂 No worries

Okay.

BRB

Wonder if Shades kitchen exploded. Literally or figuratively.

Knocks on wood for peace 🙂

No, and in fact they cleaned the kitchen with only one redirect from me. So!

DH is home, I was helping with that. He's working with them to get the cookies.... cooked. I'm prepping for work.

chuckle They actually seem to have gotten most of it accomplished on their own.

They did! DH's face was PRICELESS.

*G* Cool

That's excellent.

Hmmm....I'm going to assume Machiavelli is not an unknown term.
