When you are practicing violin with your daughter, do your children:
--get into the nail polish in your bathroom and spread it all over the wall, floor, counter and themselves?
--take nearly every sharp knife in your kitchen and go stab them into the snowman in the backyard?
When you are upstairs, working on the computer after you think they're in bed, do your children:
--find the ink pads in the stash of scrapbooking stuff you've been moving from one room to another and spread it all over the closet doors and their legs?
After you've cleaned up, lectured and put your children back in bed, do they:
--break off the "child-proof" doorknob from the guest room?
--find a bottle of body wash and put it in their hair and carpet and then put a glob on each piece of children's artwork hanging in the hall so they watch it drip off onto the carpet?
--take all the lids off the markers in the closet and throw them on their floor?
--find paint in the closet and try to play with it but get disappointed when its all dried out?
--climb up on who knows what to get to the very highest shelf of the closet, get out your brother's cologne he left months ago and spray enough cologne all over that you can smell it upstairs?
Do they? Mine do.

Yep, you've got some really terrific, very cute, normal, exasperating kids! Gotta love them! Hang in there 'cuz they will grow and and do even worse things! :)
Oh my. Sometimes you have to laugh or you'll completely lose it. Soap in the carpet is the worst. No wait. Toothpaste is worse, but soap is right up there.
Sounds like another fun day with boys! You really have to wonder, sometimes, if they think at all before they do something. I don't think they do!
holy crap!! hooray for a girl on the way!
You deserve a medal. And you're having another child...wow! :)
That is truly hideous. Although, I have to say, when I got to the part about the knives, I found myself feeling relieved that they didn't stab your couch, or other such article of furniture.
Please tell me this didn't all happen in one day...
You are a saint! And, I have to say, I have had my share of similar moments so you aren't alone!
That is a lot of mischieviousness for one little family...you must have boys. :)
Although, we have a fair amount of it over here, and I have more girls. Oops. There goes that theory.
We are in a dry spell over here lately and I am knocking on wood. That is a whole lot of chaos going on for a pregnant mama to be dealing with!
No.
My children throw a fit about practicing the violin and tell me they want to quit (Audrey). My children run off in a fit the minute they don't get what they want. My children refuse to take off their lipstick for church. My children whine, tease, and whine some more.
Of course, my children are girls (or surrounded by girls).
want a break?
oh! I am glad mine are not the only ones into EVERYTHING! that was a cute post.
I'm glad that it was your kids and not mine. Because there would be three dead children in Texas!
Cheers to your bright perspective and beautiful patience!
I just found your blog! I've had some good laughs reading through your old posts. Your kids sound just like mine! I wish I could have seen you when we went to Utah a couple of weeks ago. Do you ever make it back to Boise?

What, no photos??? Just kidding. Wow - I don't even know how to comment on this one! Part of me wants to laugh and part of me wants to cry for you. I'm surprised your children are still alive...mine would seriously be dead. Tyler just intentionally peed all over the bathroom floor (to see how far he could pee, of course) that I had just cleaned an hour before. Thankfully he's still living - thanks to a Dr Pepper. Good thing you are having a girl!
blessings, major blessings are reserved for mothers! Especially the ones that DON'T kill their kids when these things happen!
