The Great Powder Incident

November 14, 2011

This is the scene I found when Jake was SUPPOSSED to be taking a nap yesterday. To my credit I did not yell.  I calmly closed the bedroom door and went and poured a drink and counted to about a million before grabbing the camera.  After a few minutes it became pretty funny (not the part about [...]
