Breaking In The House
Brett over at DadTalk has this great post which will have any mom or dad nodding with empathy. We've all had days like that. Too many of them sometimes. Those are the days when we wonder why exactly we took on the responsibilities of parenting. Wouldn't it have been easier to just stick with two cats and a rabbit?
I had a day kind of like that today. My lovely four-year-old daughter wasted no time breaking in our new home. First she had an "accident" on the living room carpet. Second, she found some yellow dye in the pantry and dropped it on the wood floor. Third, and thankfully last, she spent about fifteen minutes drawing pictures on the wall of the family room with a pencil while we moved boxes from the garage.
Five days in the place, and it's already got that "kids live here" look.

We have had an oven mitt missing for the last few days.....it's like a little treasure hunt.
Tell you what though.....it's bloody frustrating.......she hid it ....we can't find it.....how did my 16month old outsmart me!!!
Thanks for dropping by.......look forward to the next post
Hmmm, I guess I shouldn't buy a new house until both kids are over 10! Thanks for the plug, Phil.
