This, Dear Housekeepers, is what you get when you abandon a casserole eating child, to go upstairs to check the computer you are supposed to be having a day off from. Consider it a warning and just be glad you didn’t have to clean it up.

He is so scrummy, I think I could eat him.
Oh my goodness!!! He is really just too cute, Alison….how can one possibly get angry at that face?
LOL This is why I'm so very glad my youngest child is nine years old!! LOL You poor thing Alison…
This is why god invented garden hoses. And soap. And bleach (for all those formerly white surfaces). And hard alcohol, to relax you after a particularly jarring cleaning experience…
OH MY GOD!! HA!!! Oh Finley … your poor mommy had to clean that up. Those pictures are fantastic.
OH OH… Mommy isn’t mad at you, Finley. She’s mad at the bad thing you did! hahahaha…..
Oh Alison…LOL….he is just adorable..casserole wearing little man!!! So sorry you had to clean it all up…what a job! xo
Well I guess it means he really enjoyed the casserole. Reminds me of my youngest, except he waited until the dog jumped on the chair next to him and then fed him the casserole.
Dont you just love it ? Havent we all experienced that. Save these pics for his 21st Birthday..they should go down a treat !!!
My little darlings don't even wait for me to leave the room! They do that while I'm right there with them! Finley is just too adorable–even with curry all over him you could just scoop him up and hug him to pieces. You are truly blessed!
i love the photo where he's clasping his hands together! he looks so delighted with the situation!
I am with Kali, Yummy kisses–! HOW CUTE!! I like his pleading eyes, hug me hug me!!
My little cousin really is a monster but a very cute one. The real question is did he actually eat any of the casserole? lol

Congratulations to this child!
:-))
