Maple syrup, anyone?

Addison had quite the field day on Super Bowl Sunday.
When I woke up, I came downstairs to find Missy cleaning up a massive amount of Hungry Jack maple syrup that was all over the dining room.
Evidently, while I was asleep and Missy was tending to her grandpa in the other room, Addie snagged an unopened bottle of the syrup from out of the pantry. She then opened the top and tore off that little safety tab before really going to work.
Her big Christmas present this year was a little play kitchen with a sink, some drawers, a microwave, a fridge, etc. Well, she poured the entire bottle of syrup all over her kitchen, mainly in the sink, which was overflowing with syrup. That little sink alone probably held 6 or 8 oz., and the rest of it went on the floor all around the kitchen.
So I rush to help Missy clean it up, and after a minute I call out for Addie because she's in the living room. She didn't immediately answer so I got up and went in there. Now, Addie's clothes had syrup all over them so Missy had taken them off. Addie was wearing only her diaper.
I went to the living room to find Addie's chest, belly and right leg marked up and down with a dry erase marker. We have a dry erase board over by grandpa's chair so we can write on it and tell him where we are going if we happen to leave for a minute so he won't panic. Addison had never even tried to go grab that marker before, even though she loves coloring, but this time she went to town with it.
When she saw me, she said, "Daddy! Draw tummy! Draw leg!"
We've got a picture on Missy's cellphone, so if you want it just let us know.
