Beware The Silence

My of my mommy friends and I have a fear of silence when the kids are home because it almost ALWAYS means something is going on the little angles don't want us to know about. Now I used to love the silent moments that I could just read or relax but in recent months I have grown to fear the quiet times in my home. Ethan and Alex have become quite the team when it comes to making messes. Most recent a bucket of blue paint was opened by Ethan and poured by Alex (it was a screw top kilz bucket) in a matter of 5 min. there was blue paint on the hall, in the laundry room, in the bathroom and in the tub!!! it was CRAZY!!!!! I did learn thou it all that windex can dissolve latex paint!! :) I really can't even go into all the time it took for me to clean my NEW tile and the NEW grout. Or how thankful I was that it was the old wood floors and now the new. it was a mess like none I have ever seen and therefore I took no pictures of the incident because I had NOOOOOO desire to remember the grief that blue paint caused me ... OR that my kids looked like smurfs w/ white faces. I was so mad all I could do was laugh. When I was calm enough to ask Ethan WHY???? his response was "I was just trying to make the house beautiful" which I can see was that case since they did in fact fingerprint on the walls with this dark blue paint. So how can I be so mad at someone who was just trying to help me redecorate. I don't think I will be cleaning the wall or repainting it. I got little hands and finger painted snakes ... and besides it's upstairs at the end of the hallway just next to the laundry room door, so it is kinda tucked away.

Now onto something I DO have some pictures of.... the shaving cream incident
Now I have never given much thought to just how much foam is in a can of barbasol shaving cream I just know I get one for Micah once every month to month and a half and I don't worry about much else. I also had never thought if the fun that could be had IF one decided to release ALL of the foam out of that can at one time. This is where my kids come in who says kids can't teach a parent anything.... I heard silence that was followed up by laughing and Ethan coming down stairs telling me Daddy didn't want ME to be mad. that was a BIG clue that daddy was NOT involved cause any of you that know my dear Micah he doesn't care if he makes me mad, I think that is one of his favorite hobbies. Well E went back up stairs I thought I would follow .... I come up the stairs and the smell of shaving cream hits me in the face ... my first thought: M bathed the kids and let them play w/ a little ... he lets it happen sometimes. So I went in the bathroom to find just about everything covered in shaving cream. including the kids... it was cute and the walls in the bathroom are tile so no worries but it was still something I had to clean up so there was a verbal reprimand issued. The whole time E was telling me daddy helped make the mess. So I called daddy out of his office to see his very own handy work... daddy was less than pleased at the site and it was obvious he had NOTHING to do with the fun times the kids had just had. So with out further ado a few pictures of my little creative monkeys.

She was nekkie so I had to draw on a diaper LoL
