Today I did all my major cleaning in one day. Vacuumed, dusted, bathrooms, mopped, and all the laundry through including a set of sheets from the boys bed, which they are sleeping on tonight ( not like the usual couple nights of just blankets untill i get the sheets back on) Miraculous!! I don't think that has happened since Joshua was born. I even took dinner to a neighbor. As I was feeling so proud of myself. I had a big realization as everything fell part in a matter on minutes. Joshua while I was distracted pulled one of our games apart. Not just everything out of the box, which it was but actually broke the game board. (Cranium). And yes, the many cards to this game everywhere. As we were cleaning that up Peter informed me Joshua was playing in water in the bathroom downstairs. Down I I go to stop him and find there is already about a 1/2 " of water on the floor and water was found dropping down the walls in the hallway! I just cleaned that bathroom!!!!! Now I have more laundry to do. Then as we ran up that catastrophic I waked past the exercise room to find a few puzzles everywhere. Then to top it all off Anna kicked the soccer all into a wall hanging we have downstairs, it fell on the Scentsy and wax went all over. As I was cleaning up the puzzles I realized we always get a mess or two like this when our kids are this age. I distinctly remember finding Anna with confetti and puzzle pieces and every game we owned out. and i remember Peter doing the same when i was i the back room nursing. Both times however I had a new baby I didn't expect things to stay straight. Yes, I have 4 kids still too early to expect things to stay straight. Maybe when they move out. Maybe I don't mind the little messes so much. They are worth it!

oh Becks! Sad, but so funny. We've gotten so used to things being pretty easy around here with just our one four-year-old. I've forgotten all the messes that little ones make. I have a few more months to enjoy the clean and the relative quiet.
I hope you were able to clean up that candle wax. That's the worst. Love you.
Becky: What a fun posting. You're truly a great Mom and now you can even see the messes. Love you. Dad
It's always sad to see the havoc that your 2 year old can wreak, but I must admit I also was glad to see that my 2 years old isn't the only trouble maker. I guess it's true that misery loves company.
Loved this Rebekah - What a day! Glad you can see the humor through your tears. You accomplished a lot - and saw what was most important -hooray for Moms everywhere!
those scenes...always seem to be causing troubles at the Sanrrs.
