"Dust"

Over the Thanksgiving weekend when the kids were out of school, we had a little mishap.  I was upstairs when Sam came up to tell me that there was "dust" everywhere.  At the time I was catching up on one of my favorite shows so I was only half listening at the time and WAY underrated what was happening.  A few minutes later Sam came upstairs again to tell me that there was "dust" everywhere and so I thought I probably should go check.  It turns out that the "dust" was actually feathers from a down comforter that was on Sam's bed.  Somehow they (meaning Sam and Emmi) found a hole and shook the feathers all over the boy's room, down the hall and covered every inch of the family room.  At first glance I didn't know if I wanted to laugh, cry or scream.  These pictures really don't do the damage justice!! Well, I decided to have the boys start vacuuming, and believe me, they vacuumed for at least a good hour without making a dent in the feathers!  As I knew would happen, I ended up having to help them vacuum, which I was not happy about.  Looking back, I am sure this will be something we will laugh about for years to come, but at the time I was not amused! :)
