And it wasn't even noon

The boys get dirty everyday. I consider how dirty they are to be a good indicator of a good day's play. But, to get this dirty, this early, is noteworthy. I had to get E bathed before lunch and nap today. We'll see how dirty he gets this afternoon. I'm sure he'll need another bath before bed tonight.

My kids and their Raisin Bran

This is one of Paul's all time favorite pictures of Noah. One thing we could not babyproof is locking our pantry shut. Just the way it was built/designed, we can't do it.

Noah still is always getting into things in that pantry and is a growing boy who is constantly hungry, so when I came downstairs to find Elliot in a big Raisin Bran mess in the living room, I knew Noah was to blame for bringing it in there in the first place. Elliot seemed to like eating it, as well as grinding it into the rug.

And to prove it was one of "those days", as I came into the kitchen to get the vacuum cleaner, I found Noah & Hudson with pancake mix everywhere. I had to change the vacuum bag that night. It was about to burst!
