I'm going bananas!

I don't know where to begin.  

Morgan came upstairs to tell me, "You better come see this."  Morgan AND Talmage had been playing and laughing for quite some time and of course, I was in bed.  I thought I was safe from messes since my friend gave me a child lock to use on our pantry doors.  Morgan was telling me that they were splitting bananas.  I didn't quite understand.  She also told me that it was just Talmage.  I quickly corrected her.  So I go downstairs to find the banana basket empty.  Then I go to the family room to find banana on the couch, the carpet, the blankets, the walls, the computer armoire, the clock, the DVD cabinet, the TV, the chair, the fireplace, the doors, my guitar case.  Am I missing anything?  So I quickly punish them, they are sent to their rooms and I whip out the video camera.  As I am filming the entire room I am discovering more and more banana.  I pan up the wall to see one of the most disgusting spots and realize it is all over the ceiling.  All the way down the whole entire room.  This room is about 25 feet by 16 feet if not longer.  I didn't even know where to begin to clean up.  My friend, Sabrina, came over to witness it.  She tells me I will think it is funny sometime soon, but as she is cleaning it out of the new power outlet that Jason put in the fireplace, she exclaims that she has to laugh right now.  I did join her.  I laughed about it a little with every person I talked to that morning.  Until I called Jason.  I asked him to bring home some more bananas.  To which he replied, "I just had one this morning...there were about eight."  I think this is when the tears started to roll.

I had realized the night before that I still hadn't gotten the carpet cleaned from the honey incident (which was January 29th--this all happened only a week later on the 6th of February.)  I thought it a little disgusting that I hadn't cleaned the honey yet, but can you imagine the rage I would have felt had I hired a carpet cleaner for the honey and a week later had an even more disgusting mess?  So I found a guy to come out that day.  He cleaned my couch with the black crayon, he got the Balmex out of the carpet upstairs.  But he did have to come back the next day to get some of the nasty banana out of the carpet.  I don't think he was too surprised that my kids had made such a mess--within the first few minutes of him being there, he commented to the kids, "you guys have a lot of energy!"

There is a video at the end of the photos.  It shows the nastiness a little better than the photos.  It is a little long, but it's worth it.
