All in a day....

I'm sure there are days that my hubby wonders what I do all day! Well today, I scrubbed the toilet in our master bathroom but my first mistake was doing it with Liam in the room! I don't usually clean toilets with him nearby because we all know that he doesn't need any help finding creative things to do or another means to play in the water! When I was finished, I decided to also clean the downstairs toilet (when mama's on a roll cleaning potties, you don't stop her!). When I finished, I RAN back upstairs, crossing my fingers that Liam wasn't cleaning toilets! Thank goodness he wasn't! Instead... since the cabinet doors are off and being stained... and all the 'goods' are in plain sight... he had filled the toilet with an entire package of pads! Not just any pads either - super, duper, long, overnight ones! In case you're wondering, the ones on the top were spared but I'm afraid the ones on the bottom were a little on the puffy side! (just in case you REALLY wanted to know)
Now, I knew that by being the mom of four little boys, I would someday get my turn at a crazy story like this and today was my lucky day! Up until now, I've just been able to laugh at my friends' expense, as they've told stories about what their children have done with 'personal' items... like the one who's darling daughter peeled the backs off of a boxful of pantyliners and then carefully lined them up one by one on the door frame... or the one who's son stuck them all over himself and then declared that he 'opened the mail!'

THEN... while I was e-mailing the above to 'his' father (and writing a note about the episode on my facebook site), prince charming was doing THIS:




Two whole cans of hot chocolate powder - one with marshmallows and one was 'light' - AND an entire can of ice tea powder... mixed together all over the floor! Then, to boot, when I asked him what he was doing, he said, "JACKSON DID IT!" Hello - does that face not have evidence ALL over it?! Then when I was washing his hands & feet in the sink, he looked in the mirror and saw the scratch on his nose and said, "oh no! owie nose!" and has focused on that for the rest of the day! I have no idea what happened to him (I'm guess it's a fight with the bros) but he's pretty scratched up! But on that note... I better go find out where the prince is....
