**WINNERS have been chosen!***
If your week has looked anything like mine, you’re probably looking forward to a holiday weekend. 😉 Here are some highlights from my life:
- Husband was away for work for three nights! Imagine bedtime with five kids who are 9, 7, 5, and twin 3 year olds
- One twin interrupted my desperate attempt to workout by putting sunscreen all over herself
- House was clean for all of 2.5 minutes before an entire box of Chex cereal was dumped on the floor
- One twin used fabric scissors on frozen Gogurts
- Twins hid under the sewing table with a (now empty) box of chocolates
- Twins decided that licking the mirrors in the dressing room was a fun game
- Twins also like playing hide and seek inside the clothing carousels at stores. SERIOUSLY, people! I’m trying to keep track of five kids while I’m
shoppingbuying as quickly as possible.
I have a mantra (that is sometimes said through clenched teeth), “I’M GOING TO MISS THIS WHEN IT’S GONE!!!” This GIF made me laugh and laugh because my husband cooks breakfast (so this would totally be my response!

Earlier in the week, my youngest shared her love of coloring/drawing all over her big sister’s homework! The oldest broke down in tears after all the work she put into it. Additionally, my oldest decided to wait ALL week to start on 2 assignments that were due today. Needless to say, we were in crunch mode until 11:30pm getting assignments done. 🙁 So, we’re hoping for a stress-free and fun holiday weekend! 🙂
Oh my the things kids do, especially when they sense or know you are at a disadvantage. My favorite kids shinanagins to this day actually involves my little sister. We were hosting a Japanese foreign exchange student I returned home with my parents to find the entires kitchen, living room and our Japanese studded the covered in white powder that turned out to be powdered sugar. You could taste the powder sugar in the air. It was everywhere. Apparently my little sister, 4 at the time had been jumping around with powder sugar.
Another time I was looking for that same sister. All I had to do to find her was follow the chocolate syrup trail from the kitchen, through the living room, down the hall, and I to her bedroom. When I found her covered in syrup head to toe I asked did you have chocolate syrup. She seriously shook her head and said no. Lol. She was the spunkiest little kid, so I have several crazy memories wrapped around her.
My kids tend to make the typical spills and messes at the worst times like spilling juice right after I mop. Haha
Made 3yo a wallet for his birthday with paper money in it… 3yo carried with him all day and insisted on “paying” for the shopping at the supermarket with said paper money.
Made 3yo a steering wheel softie for driving his cardboard box car… 3yo promptly steps into it and runs around the house shouting “walk me Mum, I’m a dog!”.
My kids are usually okay so I can’t think of anything terrible from this week but I had a week where three times in two days my 3 year old dumped half a bottle of baby powder all over the floor,..
Full-blown temper tantrum in a parking lot, kicking and screaming on the ground. Yikes! Someday I will miss this, someday I will miss this…
My youngest, 1, discovered my serger and it’s dials, and thread! Uh oh!
My little one (2 1/2) has been insistant in helping me scan our shopping through the self serve checkouts this week despite he can not reach or see up there lol. The other day he wanted to put the money in to pay as well and in his rush to not be helped since he is so independent and grown up he promptly shoved my $20 note into the receipt disposal!
We just got back from vacation. My kids are homeschooled and really think that I don’t know when they are watching YouTube instead of their schoolwork.
Craziest things my kids have done this week? Hid in the hallway closet and jumped out to scare me with duck calls when I came in the door from work. (Duck call – it’s like blowing on a whistle, only the “whistle” makes a duck noise.)
Thing that has made me the craziest? That’d be the entire spray bottle of cleaner my 3 year old sprayed on the dresser, himself perched on top of the dresser.
Or craziest thing that has come out of my mouth? “Well, there may be a pretend emergency, but that is a REAL WALL,” after my 4 year old slammed the baby gate into the wall as his “ambulance” raced to an “emergency.” Kids!
My son told me not to take him to kindy as it is his body so it is his choice where it goes.
Miss 3 tipped out a packet of cereal all over the lounge floor while I was bringing in wood to keep the fire going.
I walked into the room to see a “new carpet” and miss 3 lying on her tummy with her arm stretched out, picking up rice bubbles to eat.
I sighed and my 2yr old granddaughter asks, “what is it darling?”. Lmao
(I have 3 of my grandkids every 2nd week, so she’s picking up the way I speak hehe)
We also had a cereal box spill! Plus the two year old decided to body paint with ketchup. Then a few days later he helped himself to some ice cream. All while I try to nurse or calm a crying newborn. I think it’s time to velcro the little turkey to me!
Our 2 year old decided to body paint with ketchup! The things he tries to do while I deal with his newborn baby brother! I wish my big kids hadn’t started back to school this week!
We discovered this week that my oldest needs glasses. As we were sitting at the little table, trying to choose frames, my youngest decided to crawl under one of the chairs and pretend she was a dog. Gotta love ’em! Luckily, the gentleman who was helping us seems to love (and understand!) children and started telling her about the new puppy he just got.
My 4 year-old thinks I’m the one that should be heading to pre-k tomorrow and he can drive the car to work. 😉
13 yr old is trying to make weight for football, but holiday weekend means no practice or game. So he cries about running to stay on top of things.
4 yr old decided it was a fun game to scream at the top of her lungs this morning at 8 am, which is great if everyone were nto asleep.
11 year old took all the baseball cardsout of the protective sheets- to build a house of cards. I’m too scared to see if he used any of the valuable ones.
unsure which child decided our weekend treats of little debbie snacks and sodas belong under a pile of laundry in the bedroom which now has a trail of ants.
Motherhood is awesome!
My 7yr old twins have actually been pretty calm this week, which is a huge change. I think they’ve been confused by being able to sleep in so many days in a row (Fri was a professional development day so they’ve had no school since Thurs). But we have had our cute moments. My son was looking at Amazon with me to add to his wish list and when he saw the prices of some things he said, “Why do you do this to me, people?” My daughter has been walking around saying, “I’m a reading machine” because she’s been going through books like they were water (gotta love it when she begs to go to the library).
My two year old came up to me and said “I need to go pee” So I told him to go pee then get his snack off the bed….instead he peed on his snack on the bed!
My kid is 15, so the days of eating all the chocolates and writing on the walls are mostly gone, but I did have to explain the difference between tights and pants this week, and I’m pretty sure it won’t be the last time;)
We just got back from a long trip. Me and my 3 daughters drove for 12 hours to get home. The crazy part? They were actually good the whole time! Being 6, 4 and 8 months I count it as a miracle.
My 3 year old daughter started nursery. On the first day she was only they’re an hour and as she was leaving she said “why can’t I stay like the other children?” The response that they were a year older and had started last year didn’t seem to wash too well! Day 2 and as she’s leaving after a full session she says “when can I go home by myself?” I’m really happy she’s an outgoing, independent child but just slow down!
We had a fun week, visited 2 different children’s museums and a park nearby! My girls are always having fun playing together, being creative and sometimes getting into trouble. My oldest starts kindergarten tomorrow 🙁
where to start! In the last week or so, my youngest has eaten a minnow or 2, tried to eat cigarette butt, attempted to steal any alcohol she sees (I swear, we’re good parents!) and is always running on to the next mess or mishap! She’s my busy one. ????
My kids are constantly getting into things, I sympathize!! lol The best from this week is my son’s interpretations of a few words. Bulls-zack=bullseye and gas station=playstation. lol
I feel your pain! I have twins in my herd and my own little sewing business…. Most days are like a circus and the family steer clear of us with no help! Licking the mirrors must of been funny though ?
Two of our boys were arguing last week while we were eating dinner. I told them to stop several times but they kept egging each other on. In my meanest “mom” voice I yelled, “if you don’t have anything nice to say to each other then don’t say anything at all, UNDERSTAND?” One of them gets a huge smirk on his face and says, “Zane, I’m arguing with you inside my head!!!” It was all I could do not to laugh!
We had a crazy week. A trip to the zoo,a birthday party, and two days at an amusement park! I am ready for a slow down and the kids to crash on the drive home. 😉
my kids are all adults…supposedly…….the youngest has been working in north dakota for over a year…..he came back to georgia this weekend to stay…..where there are 0 jobs!!! to me…..this is CRAZY!!!!!
I took all three kids (4 year old & twin 2 year olds) to a baseball game today. Goodness I’m tried and they’re still wired! I feel your pain when trying to shop quickly. It’s a mad dash to the register!
They have just simply been kids. Wester it was that I washed the floor and they came in after running through the pile of fresh cut grass or had been in the pool and came in dripping wet…
Back to school tomorrow!!
My son riding around on his pink princess vehicle with a frog easter basket over his head (frog’s eyes mostly covering his own). Silly boy.
Those twins keep you busy! Ha! My little ones are too big now… and I miss it! But I get to play with my grandchildren! Now the big deal is to climb trees… sigh
My daugther painted faces of all her dolls with blue nail polish today.then she went and cleaned her brother’s room
We went over college stuff. It’s his senior year and he’s trying to narrow down his choices.
I have three boys under the age of 6… I’m not sure there is enough space to write all of the rascally things they do!
They found daddy’s hidden bag of pumpkin spice m&ms and ate some early in the morning… Which was only discovered because one thought they were too spicey and spit it out on the rug in his room, leaving evidence!
I could go on for days!
But you are right – I also have a daughter who just left for college and you WILL miss them when they’re gone!
We made it to school and every activity ON TIME…with this crew and me IT is a crazy thing! We seem to be challenged with remembering where and then being on time. Lol. But I wouldn’t change anything…memories (or something like that).
I’ve got a two year old and a five month old… everything they do is crazy 😉
My kids are usually not crazy but they did spray me in the face with a water hose this weekend. lol

My kids for the first time ever helped me clean the basement without me asking them. I was in total shock. All three helping each other out and NO bickering! I took them out for ice cream!
Moon dough. That’s explanation enough 😀
But, there are so many days that I look back on with my older kids and I really truly do miss them. I can smile and go with the craziness a little bit easier now
My baby tried to eat a package of wipes and my toddler threw a pretty heavy, but soft, duck toy at her head. Apparently both of them aren’t too worried about the babies safety 😛

We’re total helicopter parents so our kids can’t get into anything!
My 1 yr old daughter has been stealing everyones shoes and trying to walk around with them on. If you tell her to stop or the shoe comes off of her foot she screams like someone is attacking her. She hid all of her shoes and we’re thinking she did that so she can continue to walk around in everyone else’s.
That reminded me of days gone by and yes “I miss those days gone by”. I always felt that once the kids grew up I would have more hours in the day. Unfortunately I have no one home but the husband and an adult child and still do not have enough hours in the day. Ugh!! I look forward to the time where I do have those hours to do the sewing I so love to do.
What crazy things haven’t been done? My youngest pretended to be a dog and then licked the real dogs, she stripped down naked at homeschool co-op, and then she painted the kitchen floor in black paint. My oldest somehow wasn’t paying attention and tried to use shampoo as toothpaste. Oy vey.
My littlest one (22 months) is now entering “terrible two” territory. She threw a fit about eating dinner in her high chair last night, so I picked her up and put her on my lap. She promptly dumped her plate all over me and pinched me. Sigh. They somehow grow up too fast and not fast enough at the same time :).
i caught my 3 year old hiding alongside my bed eating an entire jar of potty candy Hershey kisses! And I need a new pattern for myself!
My little guy has “helped” me so much in my effort to clean my craft room this week! Once in the three minutes it took me to run across the hall and go to the bathroom, he opened up the drawer to my craft table, grabbed a paper cutter (the sliding kind), and began cutting all the paper he could get his hands on (including a bill). Another time he apparently thought I was folding fabric wrong and undid a pile of newly folded fabric before I could get it in a cubby. And of course now that the room is together, he’s much more interested in occupying my seat than the corner workstation I have all set up for him. But I love having my shadow helping me out!
My 2-year-old got desitin diaper rash cream all over himself while I cooked dinner. I burned my porkchops trying to get it out if his hair in the sink, to no avail, and for 3 days (even after a few showers) his hair still smelled like diaper cream. Lol
Don’t really have a crazy story, but feel very blessed I get to spend quality time with my granddaughters, they keep me young 🙂
We went camping and my daughter saw a bear!
My girl likes to hide which can be a problem when we are at the shops. Lately she has started hiding in the racks & yelling “boo” when people come to look. At least it is easy to find her when the people scream.
I have teenagers and they have actually been pretty sweet lately. My husband kept asking the older one (16yr old) if he’s happy. He replied, “yes.” When asked what he’s most happy about, he said his FAMILY!! Melted my heart <3 <3
We visited the ER this week because a picture fell on his head. Not something he did but definitely crazy!
i actually feel like I had a productive weekend! Not even counting today 🙂 Caught up on orders, I have 3 shipping out tomorrow. Today I celebrated with a little selfish sewing. Oh, and my youngest celebrated by painting the wall, floor, and his face….black and blue paint no less. Never a dull moment with three little boys ?
My adults kids, spent their time with me and their kids, playing on the trampoline………..
My toddler decided she would help mommy clean by filling one of her buckets of water and dumping it on my hardwood floors. It was so much fun to wipe up 😉
My 5 year old is the crazy one, but she is off to kindergarten tomorrow morning. I’m going to miss all of her craziness. It’s true, you will miss it one day, sniff.
My adult kids and nieces and nephews spent Labor Day weekend hosting their parents, aunts and uncles for a great end of summer party at the family cottage. They are now the hosts and do all the work we spent many years doing. Wonderful to see them all so grown and responsible and loving to be with the family still.
My 5 year old did a log roll off my bed because her 8 yr old sister told her too. :/
My youngest is 14, on his way out to football practice he tells me he needs a new mouthguard and the coach doesn’t have any more. I opened the closet door with one of those shoe organizer things on back where we keep a lot of misc. items. He says there won’t be any there, older brother says there used to always be some there. Ha, found one!
My 4 year old got a gluestick out to glue some photos he found to the wall in the hallway. That’s only beat by my 2 year daughter eating another glue stick while watching the whole thing transpire.
My husbeast went to the store the other day. My 4 year old son asked where he went. I told him, “To the store.”
My son said, “No he didn’t! He went crazy!” And walked off.
My 2 year old son marched off behind him saying, “Crazy! Crazy! Crazy!”
my kids didn’t want to sleep in their beds so they got their sleeping bags and snuck in my room to sleep on the floor.
My 4 kids (ages 10, 12, 13, & 15) all had various activities this weekend. One was out of town with the grandparents and the other 3 went today with their aunt and uncle to an annual teen event. I say enjoy the crazy now because one day you will have a weekend like I have had and miss the little people being around!
Mine played nicely all weekend, really hoping that it wasn’t the calm before the storm, lol.

Well my kids are 25, 21 &14 and I can’t really think of anything crazy they’ve done but now my dog on the other hand…we went to eat with some friends, came home and the dog had thrown up all over my bed! Ugh!!!???
Nothing too crazy, but they’ve taken turns being sick so I couldn’t get anything done all week!
My 2yo son cut my 5to daughter’s long beautiful hair while I was nursing our newborn. Add that to my newly postpartum hormones and you get a horrible mess!
My son got his hand stuck in the wipe box even after I told him to quit touching it.
I have a 3yo, what crazy things DON’T happen lol! I think the best this week was when she randomly came out with a grey jumper over her face and shouts ‘look mum I’m Iron Man!’
My daughter got new runners this weekend and has insisted that she wear them everywhere this weekend. To bed, over her foot pjs, straight out of the bath with nothing else. Gotta love them 🙂
My 7 year old daughter discovered mascara and 1980 style blue eyeshadow at her friends house. Now she thinks she should wear it every time she leaves the house.
I’m a mom of five as well. It’s constantly chaos around here. My teens think it’s funny to get my 7 year old to say things none of them are allowed to say. My pre teen think she’s old enough to wear tight clothes, makeup and heels. I don’t even wear any of that stuff. Totally know about the house staying clean for a few minutes. It constantly looks like a bomb of girl stuff went off in my house. 4 of my 5 are girls. I need a vacation if only I thought my husband would survive.
4 of my 5 are girls as well!! I have one lone boy right in the middle. My second daughter will be the one that wants to wear tight clothes, makeup, and heels. I’m definitely not looking forward to that!
Building “dirt castles” instead of sand castles in my compost pile. Then “washing up” by wetting their hair and dripping mud through the house. Love those little buggers. =)
My daughter fingerprinted my bathroom with the bath time fingerprints while I took a shower and her dad was “watching” her….and then squeezed all the toothpaste in the sink and shaving cream into the floor!!!! :/
Oh mercy. There are so many. When my daughter was 2 1/2, she and her friend smeared Vicks vaporub all through her hair. I could smell it a mile away but didn’t get to her bathroom in time. It took 7 washings to get it out. To be fair, her friend is from Ethopia and she thought the Vicks was ‘product’ and was working it in my daughter’s hair to be helpful. 🙂
My second born had his 6th birthday, so we had sleepovers on Friday with a party in the park Saturday for him!
Ha-ha my kids are grown so I don’t get to see most of the crazy things they do. I did see my youngest decided to paint the outside of her business in this 90+ degree weather. I think that is crazy. ?
When Seth was little, he found my favorite lipstick and decorated his bed, pjs and walls with it… I think I got more upset later when I found out they had discontinued that color!
Also, Olivia has taken this week to dump out the ENTIRE contents of the art corner. All over the house. Foamie stickers, pompoms, chalk, coloring books/papers. Our dining room looks incredible, um, creative at the moment…
My kids and hubby thought it would be fun to ride an office chair down our steep driveway. All I could do was shake my head and pray they didn’t crash…but they did. Lol thankfully they weren’t too hurt.
SO ridiculous! My husband is in the military and he went to Korea this summer. The first week he was gone my 2 year old shoved a popcorn kernel up his nose, my 4 year old had full body hives as an allergic reaction to antibiotics, our yard/shed flooded, and my car battery died. I didn’t even try to homeschool them that week. I just threw in the towel haha. Murphy’s Law.
I don’t have kids, so no funny stories to share 🙂
Wow, you are one busy Mama…I always wished we had more children, we have 2 grown children (actually 4, my DIL & SIL) & 3 grandchildren.
When my daughter & son were young, our best friends came over & stayed with us for a few days. They have 3 children, 1 daughter & 2 sons, ours & theirs were 1 year apart so they played well together, this was probably in the late, late 80’s. Well our sons were definitely being boys & they decided to do an experiment with batteries, gasoline, & a bandaid can. Praise God, the girls were spying on them…the boys had placed the battery in the can, poured the gasoline on it & was getting ready to light the match…OMG They ran in & tattled on them….so very thankful for them being tattle tales at that time. They did not succeed with their experiment & we had a long talk with them about what could have happened.
I do have to say….”they grow up all too quickly”…!! ;(
Thank you for the giveaway…;o}
God’s Blessings to you & your wonderful family, Renee A
My kids have been super hyper and energetic this weekend! Lots of fights, crys and laughing going on. Ended the holiday weekend with a tickle fight between the 4 of them and mom and dad 🙂
I spent this week sewing a crib set.
Mine colored her car seat with a dry erase marker…nice 🙂
My almost 2 year old likes to steal clothes from our drawers and pile them on the poor dog. I have a hard enough time keeping up with laundry without having to put it away twice (or five times as the case may be).
I took advantage of the long weekend and sewed 5 garments which is rrally the first rI’m ive made something i could wear outside the house. I am going to work on continuing to find time to sew and improving my skills (neck bindings)
My 4 year old boy stole the last piece of gum out of the pack my 6 year old bought with her own money. Then he hid the empty pack under her bed. Of course the missing gum was cause for a drama queen panic-fest followed by a full scale meltdown when the empty pack was discovered.
No little kids left at home……but our puppy decided to chew the back of our new couch! Ugh, I have to try to figure out how to repair it…….
We had a party for my little ones first birthday! We tried to do a cake smash and she delicately picked some icing off the top and lost interest ?
We had a cookout Saturday with several friends, and a small herd of kiddos. It was a blast! And we just got back from the Colorado State Fair this evening. Fun with my two boys. (Hubbie and son.) ?
Mr 5 went to his cousins Onederland themed first birthday party dressed as the Mad Hatter
We went to the lake and my son learned how to knee board d for the first time.
Yay! We had planned to head to the lake this weekend but decided to stay home. My daughter was so sad she couldn’t go kneeboarding. She even said she might try skiing again after she watched us. Hopefully next weekend. I love watching the little ones learn. 🙂
Complete meltdown in the store because could he couldn’t take home a baseball helmet.
Nothing crazy really this weekend. We went to the fair and my son rode the bumper cars EIGHT times!
We had an amazingly uneventful weekend. I drug my husband and kids out to see a performance of Eisa dancing and spent Monday bowling with friends. Today was my youngest daughter’s first day of kindergarten and I am so excited to pick her up and see how her day went.
My 3 year old decided to scream, at the top of her lungs, if anyone so much as looked at her while we were shopping this afternoon. I still have no idea what started it. We ended that fun trip with my 4 year old suddenly dropping to the ground on the way out of the store, blocking the exit, and sobbing that she couldn’t walk outside without sunglasses, it was too bright out there. I ended up having to pick her up so people could get past us, and carried her to the car as she wailed.
I’ve had to do that over the GIANT shopping carts, the one with the “car” attached. Twice actually. I was greatly pregnant the first time. Most fellow shoppers were quite sympathetic. Of course there was the one to had to say “why are you letting her do that?”. The end result was carrying her out of the store over my shoulder. The second time I forgot a baby carrier and had the newborn in one arm so there was no way I could push that lug of a cart one handed. Somehow I got her into the bottom of the cart and hauled her out that way. I haven’t returned to the store without my husband since she pulled that one.
My 3yo tripped and went head first into the picnic table. Split open her head just above her eye. We were camping for her birthday and had to leave her party to take her to the closest ER – 45 minutes away! My oldest also got stung by a wasp. And the RV lost half its tread on a tire causing sparks to fly while driving… hubby changing the tire on an RV in the rain. What a weekend!
My daughter is working on trying some new flavours, and is pulling some rather amusing faces whilst doing so!
Today, we were driving home (6 hour drive) and stopped about halfway to take the 2 yr old potty. he goes, and as I am putting away his travel seat, I say, “don’t let him touch that door” (my 12 yr old was with us). He reaches for the handle and she gets him just in time. He put his hand on his head and said “Oh, Come on!” The lady in the other stall laughed…..
I worked all weekend :/
Boooo, sorry that’s no fun.
we had fathers day (in Australia) so we got woken up early for presents…
Having a houseful of 3 under 3 this weekend was exciting (only 2 are mine) it consisted of the 2 and 3 year old corralling the 1 year old who is more of a trouble maker than the other 2 combined 🙂
I have been working on a tester pattern for almost a week and still don’t have it done … My 4 year old is always coming up behind me and touching the fabric as I see and telling me he needs to help and trys to take it from me to sew it.
My husband went running this morning with my son riding along on his bike. They tripped over each other resulting in my husband breaking his arm! Crazy day for us all!
School started this past week and I had to have a heart to heart with my six year old about avoiding the boy in her class who pulled out a chunk of her hair and stuck it in his pocket. Then she went to school the next day and declared “stay away stalker boy!” Whoops….
My 3 year old believes it’s ok to sing all of the songs from frozen almost at the top of her lungs while shopping for groceries at Wal-Mart. It just never stops and makes me completely embarrassed.
We has a very peaceful four day week while the hubby was out of town. Once he returned home however, the four year old has been throwing fits all weekend. The nearly six month old, she pulled herself up to standing tonight, twice.
My daughter ran outside in only her pull up straight into a field of bullthorns. The screams of pain ensued.
My grandson fixed my serger for me by pulling all the threads and looping them around and around the drawer pull of the little desk it sits on. He had pulled out about 12 feet of threads.
I do not have children but enjoy while reading about yours. My nephew was funny, miss him.
Twin mommies unite! Hee hee
Not too crazy over here, other than my ‘newly 4’ YO daughter being a constant bust of energy and my 10 month twinfants climbing/walking/running/falling everywhere (they started walking at the end of 8 months).
Love my kiddos!
(I have teen ‘bonus daughters’, too. Just turned 15 and almost 17. Whew!)
Where to start?!
Miss 4, was drawing an card for poppy for fathers day, and she did an picture of her and poppy walking to the park.
She told me poppy dont has very much hair, so i just put an little bit on his head and i have lots of hair!
This week alone miss 7 decided that her walls look boring (her words) and decided that drawing on them makes it all better with mum’s sharpies ( my craft ones) . Master 5 one up his sister and was so hungry that 1/4 of a jar of skippys peanut butter was a great breakfast.
My 5 (almost 6) year old keeps telling me that I need to go back to preschool because sometimes when I’m really tired I say things backwards.
My daughter had a pretty high shelf in her closet. I use plastic storage bins in the bottom of the closet to store clothes that are too big for her. My 1 yo son and his accomplice pulled out the boxes and made stairs of them. My daughter came running in a few minutes later saying “Mommy! My brother is on the WAY high shelf in my room and he CAN NOOOOOOT get down!” I run in to the rescue, and he is sitting on the shelf with his legs dangling and a huge smile. He says, “Hi, Mommy!” and starts laughing.
I’m kidless and the 4 legged kind are the lazy beasts called Mastiffs. The most exciting thing one did was eat her toe nail :-/. I have been cutting fabric for days so I can reduce the pile of batting that’s taken up the living room floor.
I can’t even imagine. I have two 5 1/2 and 3. My 5 1/2 decided to wipe down the table with a fully soaked hand towel instead of a washcloth and she also thought wetting the towel in the bathroom sink was the best place to start instead of the kitchen sink that is right next to the table. I found out what’s he was doing when I took my 3 year old to the bathroom to use the potty and the floor was covered in puddles of water… I followed the trail of dripped water puddles through the hall through the kitchen into the dining room. “Thanks for cleaning the table honey, now can you use a dry towel to dry the floors?”
My 3yr old likes to flush things down the tiolet, why, well because the tiolet is sad mommy. Sigh. My 1 yr. old likes to chew on the tiolet seat. Guess it’s time to start brushing his teeth. Sigh.
I sew a lot and keep thinking that I will reduce my piles. I think I need to be locked in the house because every time I go out I end up buying more fabric. My name is Ann and I am a Fabric Addict. Who will join me at FA?
