101 Little Known Uses of Household Products

When I was little I used to do these visual illusion puzzles. The one I remember the most is the one below. Some people see two faces and some people see a vase. Remember it?

I feel like every day is like this visual illusion with Ruthie and Maddie. I see an object for what it obviously is, and the girls see it for something completely different. Today's mission was the kitchen.

I see a pot (that I now have to wash)....

Maddie sees a hat!

I see a collender (that I now, also, have to wash)....

Maddie is investigating the exciting world of fencing.
I see a mixing bowl (this also got added to the dirty dishes piling up)

Maddie thinks it is a seat. The fact she could fit into this amazed me. But, as we all know, bowls are not for sitting. I actually was able to catch the next shot mid-bowl-tipping-over. She ended up knocking her head and screaming, but I thought it was a funny shot still.

I accidentally left the pantry dor ajar and walked into this...

I'm still finding random canned goods around the house. Lesson learned.

Carter is exploring our kitchen too. I find Cheerios boxes with the pots and pans frequently. Carter also finds it facinating to open and slam the cabinet doors as loud as possible. Time for child locks!
