The mess of the day...


I love my little ones SO MUCH. But lately, my sweet almost-two year old is giving me a run for my money. I have spent the last two weeks cleaning up mess, after mess, after mess...You get the idea. Just today, I have cleaned up more spills than I can count. I have had to recover a birthday gift he opened too early. I have chased him all day with Christmas ornaments from the tree and said at least 100 times today "Don't touch that!!" I have been so frustrated with this turn of events. Definitely the worst mess today....Carson stole a box of spaghetti noodles from my shelving. He took it up to Tatum's room...opened the box and there is dried pasta over ever square inch of Tatum's room. Thank you Carson.
On a different note...I found my camera battery charger tonight. YAY! I thought I had lost it, I've been looking for it everywhere. Turns out, it was in my car the entire time. I must have brought it with us during out trip to Utah in October. I owe the find to Ned. I got a phone call from him today and he suggested I look there! What a useful guy...even able to help me all the way around the world. Anyway I will start my usual obsessive picture taking now and post them. My blog was getting a little wordy. My apologies. Cute kids coming soon.

Some days I feel like all I do is clean up messes. My favorite has got to be when my kids decided to make the kitchen into a swimming pool. They even put on their swimsuits. But we love them anyway.

Ah, kids...my little brother Lukey went through a phase where he would pour the contents of any condiment--salt, ketchup, flour, crisco, you name it--all over the table and have his Littlest Pet Shop pets "ice skate" all over it...
