The antics of a two-year old...

For the most part my kids have been pretty good about not getting into mischief. With the exception of Alivia lately. Here is a list of her latest: Feel free to laugh heartily!

  • Luring Daisy to the garden area with a piece of bread and then dumping dirt on her. (Keep in mind she is a white dog and was a grey dog after this incident.) Daisy in her attempt to escape the hysterically laughing Liv, shook all the dirt all over my kitchen.
  • Taking my camera card out of the camera and inserting into the wrong slot on the computer. It is now stuck in the computer and I have to buy a new camera card. Luckily I had just downloaded all of the Halloween pictures.
  • I took out the waffle iron yesterday and plugged it in. I didn't realize that I needed to check the inside of it first because she had lined the inside of it with chocolate chips. Very messy!
  • I asked her to go brush her teeth the other night (I had her tootbrush all ready for her.) I went to check when all was too quiet and she had opened the toothpaste and made toothpaste handprints all over Ashlie's wall. (Flat paint and toothpaste do not mix.)
  • She found Phil's scripture markers in his bedside table and colored her bed with them.
  • Phil got up early one morning and went to Dunkin Donuts to surprise the kids. He brought home a dozen, of which 6 were left after breakfast. I put the box on the counter (away from the reach of little hands.) I was getting dinner ready later on and watching election news intently when I suddenly realize that Livvy has taken the box of leftover donuts. She is sitting at the bar (yes within my sight) eating leftover donuts. I asked her what she was doing and she laughed with a mouthful of donuts and said, "I love donuts Mom!" She ate probably two more donuts, while I wasn't paying attention. Funny thing is later on I left to go get Allie from her friend's house and she did the same thing to Phil. So, all in all she probably had 6 donuts that day. Yikes!!!! (She did eat some salad at dinner time.) I guess the donuts need to go up on top of the refrigerator. She'll somehow figure out how to get them down though.

She is just a typically curious two-year old but, sometimes her curiosity kills this cat! I had to edit this post to add the last caper.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one dealing with a little two year old attitude. It seems funnier when you don't have to handle the mess.

Hey! Your girls are so cute and it is so great to see what you are up to. Paige keeps wondering when we will see you again. Hopefully soon!

Can't wait!

I think posts like this make all us other moms heave a sigh of relief to know other kids are naughty, too. *Sigh!
