Cornstarch Anyone?

Tonight I was downstairs doing something and Finley was with me playing at her kitchen with her kitty cat.  I had gone upstairs to gather some laundry from the bedrooms while Greg watched the Super Bowl with Penelope.  I was in my room sorting launder when she showed up covered in white powder. 

I went downstairs to find the following:


Apparently, I shut the pantry door but did not lock it via the child proof lock at the top which was installed to prevent stuff like this from happening.


Look Mommy, I put a bib on Kool Kat Kohl so he wouldn't get dirty....


She got a hold of a box of cornstarch and dumped it all over her kitchen.  I don't think she just dumped it, I think she poured it into her various cooking toys and just got a little carried  away with it.


There is cornstarch in every single crack, crevice in both the floor and her kitchen.


The eating side of her kitchen was very clean which shows she just a messy cooker like her dad.


Her pots + pans were FULL of cornstarch!


I am not entirely sure if this dustpan was here just by coincidence or if she actually was attempting to clean her mess up.

I ended up sweeping all around the kitchen and getting that off the floor.  Then I used my broom to sweep the cornstarch off onto the floor and then swept that up.  Then I turned the kitchen upside down and shook and shook and shook.  Then I had to go outside and bang my broom in the freezing cold because it was no longer cleaning anything up.  I then swept a few more times and then used the shark to get it clean.  I then had to vacuum the stairs to get rid of the cornstarch off my carpet that fell off Finley as she came to find me.

Needless to say, this was not how I planned to spend my Sunday evening.....
