Well, the boys have really tested me this week. From writing on walls (yikes) to inventing a new sporting event. I have even threatened the boys with me going back to work -- although I wouldn't do that right now because I love being home with them, but a break is in need.
The new sporting event is called "Pantry Climbing". Yes, you did read that right. They climb the pantry shelves now. I don't have a picture of this yet due to me freaking out thinking that the wire shelves may break. I don't know how much weight these shelves actually will hold, but both the boys are about 40lbs each. The reason for the sudden urge to climb these shelves is I have raised their snacks to the higher shelves due to them helping themselves. The evil snack that they are climbing for ,of all their snacks, seems to be Scooby Doo fruit snacks.
We moved into this house July of last year. Everything is pretty new and I have been a utensil nazi when it comes to markers, crayons, pens, colored pencils and regular pencils staying at the kitchen table at all times. I must also add the spare bedroom upstairs is a play room now. The boys made their way upstairs and I hear a weird nose and think to myself "what are they doing up there". They were making a master piece on their bedroom wall with a pen that they snuck from the kitchen counter. As I am walking up the stairs I hear them say "momma look" they were so proud.............good thing we are painting that room soon and have now decided to use chalk board paint for the lower portion of the wall in case they want to draw on the walls again.
Also, while checking the mail or running outside to get the paper (it takes less than a minute to do this) I have been locked out of the house. It has come to the point now where I have to leave all doors unlocked so if I have to run outside without them or if we are in the yard playing and they take off inside without me I have another way in. They did unlock the front door for me, but I had to ring the door bell a million times and watch them through the window dancing at the chimes or they could have been dancing because I was stuck outside. O.K., I have learned my lesson.
Joshua has decided that he wants to be a streaker. I can't keep underwear on him for anything. He runs outside regularly without having clothes on. I think super glue is in order. Anyone have any tips for this??? Jacob can't stand when the underwear comes off his brother and immediately tells, but by that time Joshua is out the door.
I keep telling myself it's a phase, I mean they are 2 1/2 and look how cute they are. They are just adventurous right???
P.S. Mick, I apologize now for anything your little girl may learn :)

A streaking baby would be a payback for The Mick as he was quite the streaker as a little guy.
I think the weight for those shelves is 81pds, so put those boys on a diet or reenforce those shelves!
I have learned this weekend that my sister was also a streaker.......I guess it just runs in the family. The only advice I received was pin his clothes to him and laughing. LOTS of laughing :)
