seriously, what am I going to do with this child?



Everyday we have this same conversation over and over.

Mom: Owen!
Owen: What?
Mom: What are you doing?
Owen: Nothin'

Nothin' means something and that something is never good. By the time I waddle over to where I heard his voice, the damage is already done.

What has he gotten into this week? This is what I haven't blocked out.

This picture is of him trying on my mascara. He is smart enough to know it is suppose to go on his eyes and he was clever enough to put the lid back on and put it away. Unfortunately he didn't realize that the black on his face would alert me to his mischievous antics.

Dumping out some greasy hair product that he found in our bathroom onto the carpet.

Dumping out a brand new $15 bottle of fluoride onto the carpet.

Dumping out lotion.

Dragging a box over to Scott's toolbox, getting out his screwdrivers, taking them into the backyard to "fixing."

More wall art.

Getting out a bottle of olive oil and dumping it onto the driveway.

Sneaking outside to water my plants. He has figured out how to turn on the hose.

Going over to our neighbor's house only to bring back their rake that they use to clean up their dog's poop.

I'm sure your thinking at this point that this is not Owen's fault I just need to watch him closer. Trust me I say this to myself everyday as well. He is just so dang sneaky and I am just so slow!

I shudder every time I think about what he is going to get into when I have a newborn to distract me.

Seriously, what am I going to do with this child?

Our worries are the same. Danna has been putting her dolls in the toilet. She won't try that with a real one, will she? When your hands are already to overflowing, what? we ask, are we going to do with another one to distract us? And that doesn't include the post-pardum time of just recovering. Well, we've got our work cut out for us.

desperate measures for desperate times

Jack spends a lot of time in lock down for my sanity. Good luck! I feel you pain. Jack ate 4 of my lipsticks last week. Gross!!!
