More Messes

Annie found the dvds. The twins have mostly moved on from the bookshelf, and I think have decided the dvds and cds are more fun to unload. Luckily they can't get into the dvd cases, but the cd cases prove easier to their curious fingers. At the end of every day I have a stack of cds on top of the entertainment center. Someday really soon I'm going to get Ryan to put child locks on it. When we have some time....

Empty or Not?

I went to put plastic wrap over a bowl of left-overs, and this was all that was left in the box. Isn't there some kind of unwritten rule about not leaving insufficient amounts? A dribble in the milk jug, two small broken pieces of what was once the bar of soap in the shower, two squares of toilet paper, or 1 1/2 inches of the plastic wrap is close enough to empty to warrant NOT PUTTING BACK for use later.
You know who you are.

No Pants? No Problem.

Elizabeth's pants got wet in the rain in the tiny increment of time she was outside on the way to the car, and then from the car to the house. So she took them off and is resistant to getting another pair from her bedroom.

Let It Snow!

We had snow on the ground when we arrived home from visiting family on Tuesday. This was followed by some freezing fog, and today it is snowing again.

Christmas Dresses

I wish the picture had turned out better of the girls in their Christmas dresses, but I guess I have to be content that the twins weren't screaming. Which was what they did at church, and the reason I brought them home early. They have been fighting a pretty bad cold, which has been keeping us all up at night. They are getting better now, a result of having passed the cold on to someone else (their mom and dad....).

Abercrombie and Fitch

We ventured out in the shopping madness of the Saturday Before Christmas. We even maneuvered all 6 of us (including the double stroller) through the crowds at the mall. Which brings me to today's story.
We were walking by Abercrombie and Fitch when the pulsating noise caught the attention of Miss Emma. She looked into the store and saw the giant naked male torso, sporting unbuttoned jeans. Emma looked at her Daddy and very seriously said, "Why would you want to shop there? Why would anyone buy those clothes? They are too small! Those pants don't even button up! You can see their chest and their belly button!"

Maddie's Monday Mess

All I can say is the pantry cupboard now has a child lock on it.

Mess of the Day

Dear Mom and Dad,
I really am very sorry for all the messes I made and didn't clean up (or just not as quickly as you would have liked). But your revenge seems a little over the top. As I clean up one mess, the Little Hurricanes make another. You once told me that I would get mine, and I have. You can tell my kids to let up now.
Sincerely,
Danae
PS Rick and Kim-- I think they have also made up for what Ryan did.

I think I need to rename the blog to the Kannely Mess of the Day. Something tripped in Annie and Maddie's head at their 1 year birthday and I have been scrambling trying to keep up. It isn't working. I am literally following them around, picking up books, kitchen towels and cooking supplies, clothes from their drawers and toys. And ripped up newspaper. And Christmas ornaments. Today they found the tin foil. Incidentally, if anyone cares to know, it doesn't roll up and fit into its box again. And they got the box of raisins off the counter. I'm still puzzled by how they did that one.

And then Elizabeth did this to the toilet paper yesterday. I suppose I should be happy it wasn't all in the toilet or strewn about the bathroom. It just isn't where it is supposed to be.

Oh no. Mom Caught Us.
