So I can start with a story some of you may have already heard but maybe some of you haven't had the chance to laugh at me quite yet. All in one simple word. POWDER. Now as most of you know baby powder is a very fine substance, usually sprinkled on cute baby bottoms...well not on this lovely morning. May I also remind you this was one measly day after the poop and painting with butter incident {see earlier post}. I was doing something in another room, and it was mysteriously quite in my house...usually this is when Lyla Jane is peacefully sleeping or playing with her toes, and Elijah is probably curled up somewhere with a book, and Ethan...well Ethan is usually up to something. Something like poop squishing, or butter painting, or toilet water splashing. This time it was powder puffing! So I walk out and he is sitting on the floor covered in powder...and powder all around him. Of course this always happens with a BIG smile. That's just Ethan. So I am still recovering from the poop and butter, still in a bit of a daze and I take a picture. Then proceed to tell him powder is NOT for sprinkling all over the house it is for sprinkling on little baby bums. Not too bad. No fit. Relatively easy clean up. Day goes on and surprisingly no more incidents. Next morning. Going great. "Uh-oh" I think. A little too quite for my liking. So I go to the living room to check on Ethan...POWDER! POWDER EVERYWHERE! Not just on my cute little boys lap but all over my living room. The couches were dusted the carpet was thoroughly dusted, the fireplace was dusted. My powder was...was GONE! You can imagine. Oh yes you can imagine. And it was probably worse! I look at Ethan, this time in no mood at all to take a quick picture. And he says in the most adorable way he knows how..."Oh-no mama, powdew all ova, no-no, me did it too." So not only is he confessing, but he KNOWS it was a no-no!! So...trouble. Now I don't have to worry about that happening again right? Because he got trouble and learned his lesson right? NO, wrong. He won't do it again because he can't, the powder is gone, remember?! So, the story of my life...Never a dull moment. Now don't get me wrong, can you imagine life without all the little moments? I most certainly cannot. Life would be boring. No. I LOVE that my life never has a dull moment! Sometimes it just takes a minute, or two, to be able to breath. And then I always look back and laugh. And I LOVE to laugh!
