run and hide

attack of the tape mummy!

New reading material

We were in the middle of dinner when Ben ran off to go potty. Didn't think anything of it until I noticed 15 minutes had passed and Ben hadn't come back. I called for him and he said, "I'm still going potty Mom." Then another 5 minutes went by and no Ben. I went to the half bathroom that he usually occupies and no Ben. I noticed the Den door was open (which I had locked earlier) and the portable DVD player was missing. (We had issues with him and the player earlier in the day.) So I grabbed the camera knowing what I was about to find. The picture explains the rest.

Guess Who?

This is a well loved Disney Princess, who I might add, still gets played with. She may be decapitated, but she still has her princess luster. I believe her head is floating around our house somewhere with the legs. Despite that the head is missing, this little lady still gets plenty of action. Any guesses who this princess is?



Brooke, this one is for you. Bryn may chew the limbs to nothings, but at least she doesn't rip their heads off.

Luke's daily pasttimes

Yes, I know this looks like one you've seen before but it was a new one from this morning. Would you agree he is getting better? Maybe if I leave him alone a few more minutes he could have applied eyeliner and eye shadow, too. The scary part of this is that I think he looks pretty cute. He is definitely the boy version of Mia.

This was from last night while I was making dinner. He climbed into the bathroom sink and dumped baby shampoo all over his clothes and hair. Fun times.

Sneaky Sneaky

So I couldn't find Ben anywhere, but all the doors were still locked so I knew he was still in the house. Well I finally found him in the hall closet watching a movie on the portable DVD player. Well done Ben, you once again outsmarted mom.

Sharpie

Yes, sharpie on the desk...

the cabinet...

the computer screen...

and Luke, the guilty culprit. It's all over his hands and clothes as well. He had to scale the desk chair and desk and then reach on top of the cabinet where the sharpies had been hidden (or so I thought) since his last Sharpie encounter a few months ago. He did some good damage but thanks to the internet, I found out hairspray gets sharpie out (and you don't even have to scrub very hard). Sunny and Brooke and Livy, you probably want to make sure you have some on hand for when the need arises. I'm sure little Evie would never think to do anything so naughty. I'm sure Bryn would love the use of the hairspray for her hairstyling needs as well. Maybe she will get some for Christmas from the Wilsons.

Scratchy Scratchy

Emily decided to scratch my leather chairs with her nails.
