What happens when mom does canning?

As some of you may know, I have two rather good-sized peach trees in my back yard (as well as two apple trees, a cherry tree and grape vines). So when the peaches are ready to harvest, there is a small window I have to can them or make into pies etc. On this particular day, I had to work, but I knew the peaches would go bad if I didn't can them before work. I tried to convince myself that all would be well and the children would be good-what was I thinking! In this first picture, you will notice a small bag of candy corns. They were placed on the counter only after I discovered the two boys downstairs happily snacking on dad's secret stash.The next few examples show just what damage an unattended toddler can do while mom is engaged in anything productive. This would be our laundry room-also the room that our kitty food and cat box reside. I think my purse had been hanging on the door knob, which of course he can reach. I finally had to resort to locking him in his room so that I could finish up and be on time to work. As you can see, even more destruction occurred in here, but at least he is safe and I stay sane while completing a task.Not sure exactly what is on his messy face, but once again, sure is a good thing he is cute!
