Cousins in crime ... Or what 4 year olds do when left unattended.

Growing up, Sabbath afternoon at the Anderson's almost always entailed great food and good company. My family did not disappoint during our recent visit to California.

I was so busy visiting that I lost track of my little red head. My mom was stressed so I took her hand and pulled her out the door for a walk. She decided to go back and get her dog and his leash and I headed to Kyle's house for the back pack to carry Abigayle. 

Through the sliding glass door I saw Abrianna and Kirsten. Walking through the door I was stopped in my tracks. What in the world???

Kirsten quickly and  very quietly made a beeline out the door and away as fast as her little legs could carry her.

I gulped deciding not to yell at the sight that met my eyes. I sent Abrianna in to sit on her bed while I cleaned up and thought about how do deal with the situation.

Kyle's rabbit was cowering in the corner of his cage. Mounded in his cage was 2/3 of a bag of saturated cat food, spoons, knives, and nut clusters.

The smell of essential oils permeated above and beyond the stench of wet cat food. Our little darlings had emptied three of my bottles ( each costing from $15-$35 per bottle) all over themselves.

Cat food floated in his water dish. Rabbit bedding was strewn throughout the carpet. Ughhh...

Kyle ( my little brother) walked in the door and helped empty out the poor rabbit's cage and cat's water dish.

Mom grabbed a broom and swept the mess on the kitchen floor.

I waited until sundown to finish cleaning up the mess of rabbit bedding out of the carpet. What a bear that was. I don't think I've ever had such a hard time vacuuming such a mess up before. 

I still don't know why they did it. Maybe cause they're 4 and without supervision?
