DS#2--sigh...

DS#1's birthday was yesterday and we had his party a day early because I had to work. I bought "Fun Dough" (Play Doh clone) at the dollar store to put in goodie bags. Welll, I ran to get the pizzas for the party (I was gone five minutes!) and DS#2 smashed the dough into the wicker couch! Guess who spent an hour cleaning it out if the wicker with a butter knife? WHERE were his brains? He also had to clean the floor under the couch after he had cleaned all of the dough out because it was everywhere. GRRRR....

I hate play dough, it's an outside thing here.....
{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}} I'm sorry you had such a mess to clean up...............

I hate the mess playdough leaves too. I always made the boys play with it on the kitchen floor. I didn't want any of it stuck to the carpet anywhere else.

I am sure DS#1 learned a lesson.

Lori, I didn't clean it up--HE did! It all came up. I think it might be awhile before he does soemthing like that again!

Play Dough is definitely a kitchen floor activity here too. I darn there have to barricade the kitchen off to make him keep it in there.

I never had the stuff when I was a kid for that reason.

Oh my goodness! I hope the play-doh all came out...I guess he might not want to try that again, especially if he cleaned up his mess....

This so sounds like what bubba would do!I make them keep it in the kitchen too.

Playdoh is a no no here.Katie got some for Christmas(from her teacher) and it's in the same place it was when she came home from school..on top of the bookcase LOL!! Poor child has looked at this for 7 months and can't touch it. I'm such a bad mommy.

I may let her take it outside oneday but once she's done playing with it,I'm throwing it away lol

I must be a wierd mom. I dont mind ds and dd playing with it, but it HAS to be done at the kitchen table. Other than it being dropped on the floor, I have never had any real problems with it.

I never had any trouble with playdough with ds. We don't have a kids play table so i spread out a vinyl table cloth I spread out under the coffee table. I put the table cloth down too for when he paints too.
