Tyler and Jason have been especially mischievous the last few days, so I thought that I would just let you in on a "day in the life of a madd mother"
This is what was left of my living room after the tornado went through first thing in the morning (Tyler and Jason did have a little bit of help from Matthew:-)
In the picture below, there are little tiny "dots" all over the floor, which are hole punches - one of Tyler's favorite things to make and play with.
Off to the Fun Center with our neighborhood playgroup. Tons of fun - we had the entire place to ourselves, it was so nice.
A little bit of painting in the afternoon while Jason takes a nap.
Time to vacuum up the "dots" (Thank goodness for vacuums!)
One day later - total disaster in Jason's room. Just before this, I caught Tyler cutting Jason's hair with nose trimmers!! I heard Tyler say, "Hold still, Jason." It isn't horrible, but I am going to have to buzz the poor kids head! You may wonder where the parental supervision is during these times, well I am usually in the next room trying to get the dishes done or eat. They are so fast, that I only have to leave them for 5 minutes for them to destroy!
I am sure that all mothers can relate to this... oh the joys!! I am told that I will miss these messes one day - but we shall see, that day must be VERY far away!

So I am totally laughing out loud as I read this :) Your house looks like mine! It is always clean when AG comes home in the evening so I have started taking pictures of the fin things they get into every day just so that he will believe me :) Wouldn't it be nice to go to the bathroom or eat or do anything and not worry that things are being destroyed? But I do love it and some day when they are older and my house is clean all of the time I am going to have to start wondering what to do with all of the free time that i used to spend picking up :)
I don't think we can go more than 24 straight hours before our house takes on that same look.
Your kids crack me up! Maybe you should bring them to my house and let them destroy it a little and give you a break!
I am so glad it isn't just me! Seriously, it's amazing how fast they are. You blink and all your hard work is destroyed! My favorite: "Hold Still Jason!" And with nose clippers no less!
