She's on a Roll

Oh, my little Claire has been so mischievous lately. I should stop being surprised by the naughty things she does, because they just keep coming. I caught a few of them with the camera, so enjoy.

Claire loves to sneak food without permission. Recently she has developed a love for peanut butter. If I forget to lock the pantry, she grabs the peanut butter & hides behind the island or under the kitchen table. She must take after her older brother.



Last Tuesday I was changing Matthew's diaper when I heard Claire run into the bathroom & say, "I wash mine hands Mommy." I told her, "Claire, you should probably go pee-pee in the potty while you're in there, you haven't done that for a while." When I finished changing Matthew, I came to the bathroom to find Claire in this exact position. She did take my advice about going pee-pee, but she forgot to go to the toilet. She just stayed like that, with one leg up on the counter & peed right down her leg! Her sandal was soaked and so was the stool. When I picked up the stool to wipe it off, I found that there was such a big puddle under it that it had even soaked through the rug & onto the tile! So I got to wash the bathroom rugs and mop the floor! So fun to add extra jobs to my list!


Today while I was feeding Matthew, Tyler yelled, "Mommy Claire is getting into your make-up!" I set Matthew down & hurried to my bathroom where I found Miss Claire playing with lipstick. Doesn't she look pretty?


Thank goodness the lipstick she destroyed was one from a Clinique free gift that's been in my drawer for years. Now that she's made such a mess of it, I think it will most definitely be thrown out.



Oh Claire, what am I going to do with you?

Tyler's Shopping List

Yesterday Tyler decided that he wanted me to leave the house for a while & he should have a baby-sitter, "like Great-Grandma & Great-Grandpa or Grandma." I told him that I wasn't going anywhere & he didn't need a baby-sitter. Still trying to convince me to leave, he told me, "Mommy, you need to go food shopping. We need some pears, we're all out of pears; and we need some onions & some 'Clorox Bleach'."

I had to laugh at his shopping list. What an interesting combination of things to buy! Especially the Clorox Bleach. I don't ever say that I need "Clorox Bleach." Curious about that item on the shopping list, I had to ask, "What's Clorox Bleach? Do you know what it is used for?"

Tyler answered, "It fights stains." The tone is his voice was as though he wanted to say, "Duh, don't you know anything Mommy? I guess I'll tell you if you don't already know."

It was really hard to avoid laughing at his response. He must have seen a commercial for Clorox Bleach. It's amazing the things his little brain will absorb! I just have to be careful that he soaks up good things & not the garbage that is all around us! I also better be careful what I say around him. Who knows what might come out of his mouth we're not around!

Claire is NOT Sleepy!

Last night & tonight at dinner, Claire was hilarious. She did not take a nap either day & she claimed that she was not sleepy! I don't think that was entirely true. What do you think?

Dinner on Monday
