The Bleess Family: A Sticky Situation!

Last Tuesday, I woke up to quite a mess! We put up a baby gate across Zac's door at night, in case he wakes up before me, he can play in his room. Apparently, he knocked the gate down and "played" in the living room before he came in our bedroom and woke me up. He opened our bedroom doors and went into the bathroom, saying, "Rub, rub, rub" as he was rubbing his hands together. That's what we say and do when we wash our hands. I figured he just wanted to play in the water. I got out of bed and we went into the living room. There I saw an empty bottle of corn syrup poured on his picnic table in the living room. It was dripping off the table and there were puddles on the carpet! I was so ANGRY! Not the way I wanted to start my day! I immediately called Ryan at work and went off! We have been dealing with Zac and his terrible two's lately. Zac had also wiped his hands in this mess- that's why he wanted to wash his hands, they were STICKY! He also wrote on his hand with a pen and got ahold of my camera and took a few pics and recorded himself. By looking at the time on the camera, he'd been up for about an hour by himself! I didn't even know how to begin cleaning. After about an hour I picked up the table and put it in our shower, on its side, and let the syrup drip down. I turned the water on for awhile and it eventually washed off. I got an old towel wet and mopped up what I could of the gooey mess. I called and made an appointment to get the carpets cleaned 2 days later. I highly recommend ChemDry Mo-Kan if anyone needs to get their carpets professionally cleaned. We've been satisfied customers for 5 years. After a week, I can almost look back and laugh. I still need a bit of time! I've added a few other pics I took during the week.
