Rainy days...

Anyone else have a haunted house in their upstairs bathroom on this rainy afternoon?

I do. Amidst a sewing project with Sadie for 4-H (fair project, a dress) a lizard out of paper mache (Ted) and a rock collection in an egg carton (Sam.) (Also fair projects.)

Also, one girl with a fever, chicken soup cooking on the stove, remains of sheetrock dust and ceiling paint across the downstairs and boys swing plastic swords at each other.

I just about went over the edge of craziness when I opened the bathroom door to find toilet paper strung all over and fabric draped over the toilet. When I asked Sadie if it was her stuff, she said "maybe.." Pressed further she claimed she had just started making a little haunted house in the bathroom for the other kids, but I interrupted her when I came back upstairs to help her on the next step of her sewing.

My eyes just about rolled back into my head.
