This morning Brooke and I were lamenting about our week. ??We both have had kids down sick…AGAIN. ??We both are ready to give grandparents a turn with our babies who will not stop getting into trouble! ??:)
Brooke: ??”Doni are you having trouble with Troy? ??Well I know you are because he did drown your cell phone down the toilet last week. ??Quinn is just being so destructive!”
Had it not been for the cell phone incident, I could have lied and said…”Oh Brooke! ??I am so sorry! ??Maybe we could spend more time together and I could coach you on how to be a more effective parent.” ?? LOL!
Misery loves company doesn’t it? ?? I had to post these pictures for my dear sister so that she would know she is not alone. ??Not by a long shot.
It was minutes after we got off the phone that Ty notified me we had a bathroom problem.
In addition to playing with the toothpaste while sitting in the sink, he had first entertained himself by baptizing his dragon pacy in the toilet. ?? We have had several such incidents this week. ?? I tell the kids to close the lid and close the door over and over and over and over and over…repeat a zillion times.
Approximately 10 minutes after the bathroom incident and while reading a book to my girl child, I hear the unmistakable sound of pouring liquid. ??(Tanner just read over my shoulder and suggested this “It was more like a cup falling and then a splash of liquid”.)
As you can see, Miss Tori did not turn her chair on its side when she left the table thus giving Troy the ability to climb to his favorite perch. ??He dumped out several things actually before we were wise to him. ?? See the stack of breakfast cups? ??Yep. ??The whole table is wet as well as the cocoa puffs decorating the floor. ??Awesome.
Update at 6:00 PM
And the ball continues to roll down the hill. While preparing a bath for Tori and Troy, Troy swipes Tori’s Nintendo DSI off the bathroom counter and tosses it into the filled tub before I could catch it. Tori’s biggest heartbreak was that the pictures she took of her and I were on that DSI. (Such a photographer’s child). Yesterday I hid in Starbucks for 30 minutes while I was supposed to be grocery shopping. Where can I hide tonight?

At least he’s SUPER cute while being destructive!!! <3
He IS super cute! On the plus side your bathroom looks pretty clean and probably smells minty fresh! 😉
Not that this info will help but we did the chair on the side thing too and that is how Coop got stitches in his lip. He was climbing all over the chairs and slipped and caught the edge. Our chairs were stored in the garage unless being used for 6 months 🙁
Doni…I LOVE that you share your antics of live! Miss you all… 🙂

Im feeling sorry for you two sisters – ugh & yuck is all I can say!!!!
Love you all ?
test ?
For not knowing what to say so many times, tanner sure is good at correcting what YOU say! 😉 I think from now on when I need the answer to a question from tanner -like, uhm, whether he wants cereal, eggs, or donuts for breakfast- I’m going to find a way to phrase my inquiry as a statement he’ll be sure to correctt! For example, I might not even address tanner at all, but rather say, “seth, lets get breakfast for our guest! Do u think his favorite is cereal, donuts or grapefruit? …probably only grapefruit but i didn’t think to buy any.” i
I need to practice this technique to perfect it, then start trying it on tanner! 🙂
