The mess in Mrs. Smith's kitchen have been created as following:

Thus, it can be concluded that Mrs. Smith's boys were correct that they ate few cookies but were not responsible for the mess. The mess was created due the irresponsibility of the boys due to which they left open the door that gave the bold and curious squirrels to enter the kitchen. They made the flour that was kept on the counter near the door to fell on the floor,which was then torn open and spilled. Their exploration in the kitchen had made the cookie fact sheet not to be in the position. So when they left they had the trail mark on the flour that was on floor. The windy rain has caused the leaves to blow into the kitchen, also it caused the few of the mails to be on floor because it happened after the spilling of flour, they were not covered with it. The fine layer of the flour on the muddy footprints of the boys indicate this.
