Luke on the table...a daily occurrence.
If I could sum up life with two little boys it would be this: Always into something. Wow! I can't even turn my back for a little while without something going wrong. The crazy thing is, I was not quite prepared for this. You see, I used to have only one child who was into something and would make a small mess. It was easy with just one. I could shoo him away to play with something else while I got everything cleaned up. But as of a few weeks ago, I started to notice that we have made the transition into having two that are constantly into things. Yep, sweet little Lukie is growing up and has decided it is fun to make trouble with his brother! Oh boy!
Just to fill you in on a typical day around here, here are some fun things that happened in the past 24 hours:
1. my phone was used as a toy in the bathtub (water was in the tub!)
2. Will walked into my room this morning covered in ink pen and asked if he was pretty. As I started to tell him that we don't write on ourselves with pen Luke walks in and is covered in ink pen also. Evidently Will made them both pretty.
3. Both boys were quiet after lunch. I had let them go out onto the back porch while I cleaned up the kitchen only to find them 5 minutes later covered in potting soil that they had dug out of the planter on the back porch. This has happened at least once for the past 5 days.
4. At least two drinks were pulled down from the kitchen table onto the floor.
5. Will decided to pull a kitchen chair over to the counter beside the refrigerator so that he could climb up and reach the m&m's that I had put on top of the refrigerator.
6. Balls went whizzing past my head at least 14 times or I fussed at someone for swinging a plastic golf club inside the house.
7. I picked up decorative pumpkins and gourds that I have around the house for fall I don't know how many times. The pumpkins were used as soccer balls and and the gourds instruments for Will's marching band.
8. When I went to vacuum up one of the messes I had to fight two little boys just to be able to clean up. They love the vacuum! They just want to sit in front of it and let the wind blow in their faces. They will do everything in their power to prevent me from vacuuming so they can sit and enjoy. (see the pictures below)
9. I'm pulled a 14 month off the table, because he climbed up without me looking. I do my best to get the chairs pushed in as soon as we get up from eating, but that kid is fast! He always seems to beat me!
No wonder I go to bed tired every night! I love those two, but they keep me hopping all day. I guess this is what my life will be like for the next 20ish years. Well, at least I know it will never be boring around here!
