Why I have a lock on the pantry.

So I've been lazy. The kids have been fairly good lately...thus, I've been getting into the shower without another thought. Not anymore. I came out with my towel on and found that the kids had dumped an entire new box of fruity pebbles (which is one of Jonathan's favorites) on the floor and decided to eat it like dogs. I told Ben to get the broom and clean it up since it was still fairly contained. I left to put clothes on and when I came back...all the cereal had been crunched on and lodged into all the crevices of my distressed floors. And of course I had just mopped the day before. I had to sweep, then vacuum, then mop once more because of all the tongue smears of chewed up cereal. The picture shown is the one of fairly contained cereal. I was too mad when I came out and saw what had happened in the two minutes that I was gone.

Hmm ... Butter.

I was letting Evie butter her own toast at the table, when I turned around a few minutes later and found her under the table eating the butter by the knife full. She knew she was busted and would not look at the camera.

ABC easy as 123

Morgan's new favorite thing: ABC gum. She finds it at the pool, creates a sticky web of it, then brings it to me to peel off of her. Yesterday, she did it three times before I banished her to a floaty in the deep water (I was with her). Sticky messy difficult to peel away--that is why I hate gum and our kids never get it.
