My terrific twosome can sure make a disaster in a hurry. In the 5 minutes it took me to answer the phone the other day, Asher and Maddie emptied the lower shelf of our pantry and dumped hot chocolate mix everywhere. I swear they waited for me to leave the room! Luckily it was about ten minutes until Paul was due home, so I just waited for him to help me. I couldn't even get mad, I just had to talk sternly and hide the giggles. Sometimes a mess is just too big to match any reasonable amount of anger. I should know better by now than to answer the phone in the office while these two are in the kitchen.
Isn't this the guiltiest faced boy you've ever seen?


He told me that he took off his clothes because they were dirty, go figure. Notice
blanky was his other
accomplice. Don't worry, all of the hot chocolate came out of blanky in the wash. You can also see the baby proof door handle cover in the background.
Doesn't Maddie look like she's wearing Halloween beard make up? Sometimes I wish I could roll around in chocolate too.


I just want to say Paul is the best husband in the world. When I called him at 5:00 , in shock, to tell him what the kids had just done, he told me to wait until he got home to clean up so that I wouldn't have to deal with cleaning up the kids and the floor at the same time. Which would have been quite the adventure. Is there anything sexier than a man with a broom? He even mopped!

Mmmmm that bath water looks good enough to drink doesn't it?

Oh my. You've got quite the pair on your hands. I love to watch Maddie try to outsmart Paul in Sunday School, you can just see that little girls wheels turning in her head. :-) And you're right, there's nothing more sexy than a husband with a broom in his hands!! :-) If only someone would tell THEM that.
SO FUNNY. I cannot imagine leaving the room and coming back to this. Those two and their shenanigans crack me up. That bath water is awesome. I want to take a chocolate bath.
P.S. I think we do have the same house plan, just switched around.
Those two are trouble...but oh so cute too.
What is Asher sucking on in the bath?
Hi Nessa-
We had a similar bath today, only it was brown from mud. Maddie and my boys could be matching bearded pirates for halloween. They were a mess, too. I'm glad you can laugh about things like that. There's really no better way to handle it.
Super funny. Rolling in Chocolate sounds SO good right now!
Bathing in chocolate? That sounds decadent. Very chic. Your kids are such trend-setters! Also, I love that state of not knowing whether to laugh or scold. I can relate.
Haha, thanks for helping me put things into perspective! Addie has yet to make a mess like that (KNOCK ON WOOD!), so I have something to be grateful for! I'll remember this story in case I ever think about inviting Asher over. ;-) just kidding!
That is so funny. Kids are amazing. They get into things so quickly. It's like they have a radar that tells them when their parents aren't watching. Cute pictures. The one with Maddie and her beard was super cute.
He He He! Two peas in a pod :)
Go Paul, you sure scored some bonus points there!
You guys are so funny! Props to Paul for cleaning up. The funny thing is I'll bet you really do wish you could roll around in chocolate all day.
okay Keith and I found a book called porn for moms... that picture of Paul would be centerfold material. What a pair they are. At least they're super cute.
I would love to roll in choclate! But maybe I'm too old for something like that........maybe not!! Glad the kidos had fun. The pictures are great!
What a great story! I really enjoy reading about your adventures and misadventures.
