Sharpie Meets Hardwood

For months now, there has always been a daily "mess," major misbehavior, some sort of absolute naughtiness, that usually brings a laugh or good jawdrop from people hearing of my stories. Today, I take full blame......sort of.

This is what happens when two little guys wake up way TOO early, crawl in bed with Mama to watch cartoons, Mama accidentally crashes for no more than 20 minutes and finds that her little sweeties have escaped the bedroom. Jumbo Sharpie marker meets hardwood floor. I don't care about the pictures they drew on themselves......would you LOOK at that FLOOR! I thought I was going to die. Thank you, Thank you Magic Eraser.

In addition to the Sharpie mess, they were in the fridge/freezer getting out drinks and frozen shrimp. They had also visited the basement and poured cups and cups of birdfood all over the place. Busy little boys....and like I said, I take MOST of the blame today :) Little boogers should have still been asleep!

On a positive note, both boys have gone pee pee on the toilet! They have been showing some interest for the last month, so we started encouraging them to sit on the toilet before bathtime and before bedtime. We have celebrated with the pee pee on the potty dance, but are certainly not pressing the issue. We have enough change to get ready for....their big boy bed comes this weekend!

Double, Double, Toil and

TROUBLE? Here? Never! Yeah right, that's my explanation for my four month blog absence! The little guys are a fine blend of absolute sweetness and a good dose of P & V! They have been keeping me on my toes (to say the least), but more so on my knees (cleaning up their horrible messes and PRAYING to make it through the day)!

Today, I leave you with an example of two, terribly terrific, two year olds, who together have their mama tearing her hair out!

A full bottle of soap pumped onto the toilet and floor = lots of giggles, slips, bubbles, and another MESS to clean!
