Water Wars

You always know kids are going to come up with something they are not suppose to do when you are not looking.  Though you bury your head in the sand hope that for once they will ACTUALLY do as they are told, today.....was not that day.  After waking up late, rushing to dress baby, feed kids, jump in the shower just to hear a bunch of giggling going on.  Not the 'oh my sisters are funny' haha kind.  The 'this is so much fun mommys not here' kind.  Apparently the girls were having a squirt gun fight in the kitchen WITH the water bottle that can spray 12ft in a steady stream to nail your target.  Except in the hands of 2, 6, & 7 y/o's they don't have much aim.  They're reasoning for all this?  The baby started it! I did in fact witness K taking the bottle and her sister grabbing it in which became a tug a war.  K won, she fired the water straight into her sisters face and yes we all giggled.  After the bottle was put away or so I thought I left and it turned into an all out war.  Kids....you just never know whats going to happen next. 

Terrible 2 fun

We thought today was going to be one of those great days since our little miss K, in her full on terrible 2's was in a good mood when she woke up.  We were sadly mistaken.  In less then an hour she has pulled books off the bookshelves and ripped pages intentionally, dug into the pantry and threw a can of tomatoes at her sisters foot, smacked her sister for not letting her scribble all over her schoolwork*gasp*.  Then proceed to grab her other school books and bite them, really?  It's like living with a puppy some days with all the messes you have the pleasure of cleaning up.  Even now as I write she has climbed up on the chair and is using me as a human jungle gym sliding down my back as a slide yelling 'weeeeeee'.......Once finished says 'sorry momma' and proceeds to do it again and again.

Friendly Roaring Baby

In our house daddy is the celebrity.  So whenever we hear the back door rattle it doesn't matter where the kids are at or what is going on, it becomes a sies and desist and race as fast as one can to the hallway to hide.  While waiting*giggling* for daddy to open the door while they pop out like a jack in the box to say hi!  Kiley hasn't quite learned to just say hi, instead she likes to ROARRRRR as loud as she can over and over.  Not sure where it came from or started but now even mommy gets the cute lil roars. 

L-O-N-G Week

What a L-O-N-G week!  I keep mixing my days up thinking it's Thursday or Friday and it's only Wednesday.  Mind you I kept thinking it was the end of the week since Monday.  When your spouse works 6-7 days a week days begin to blur together I suppose.  We have a toddler in full force "terrible 2's", no one is enjoying these mood swings.  On a positive note she has learned the world please, which sounds like 'peas'. 

We want cake!

A couple months ago my wonderful children were doing what they weren't suppose to*GASP* playing on the stairs!  Needless to say they managed to knock out a post on the railing going upstairs that was just put in.  Of course we don't know who did it, what happened, and no one is going to fess up.  Tonight daddy decided to sneak downstairs while doing school work and get himself some coffeecake but wasn't going to share with the baby since he had to 'work on school'.  I say that loosely because I'm pretty sure he's just up there playing with his IPOD or searching the Internet for running gear or drooling over computer parts.  Well lil miss not one to let ANYTHING stand in her way macgyvered her way through the hole and then proceeded to run up the stairs which is when I heard the pitter patter of feet above me.  I'm pretty sure she was following the smell of cake at this point.  She made it, got her cake, and ate it while smiling the entire time.
