This week at my house

Lil' Miss decided she wanted the carpet to be softer. Maybe an entire bottle of conditioner will help that. Not so much. It just makes a really big mess. That evening she decided to play in a can of cherry pie filling. A screwdriver makes a good stirring utensil don't you think? She also tried to use the can opener to open the already open can of said filling. Luckily Layton Dad dealt with that mess.

I buy my sugar in 25 lb. bags and then store it in 5 gallon buckets in my pantry, Lil' Miss and Duder decided that it would be fun to play in the sugar. They thought it would make a nice floor covering. Once again, not so much.

I had the pleasure (I use this word very loosely) of taking Lil' Miss to Redicare today. When she woke up she had bloody yuck oozing from her right ear. Lovely, I promise. It took two hours to find out what I already knew. She had an ear infection that ruptured her ear drum and needed a good dose of antibiotics. I always feel like such a bad mom when I have to take her in for this. The Dr. always looks at me like come on lady didn't she show any signs of discomfort. With Lil' Miss I can honestly say no. Her temperament never changes and she is so mellow. By the time I notice something wrong, there is stuff oozing from her ear.

I can't wait for this week to be over.

Sometimes we all have weeks like that. The nice thing about those kind of weeks is that they don't last forever, and it makes you appreciate when things do go better. I hope she gets feeling better fast!

Oh, Erin, isn't it crazy how quickly they can get into stuff? I kind of hate it when they get mobile and curious. I have a feeling that Micah is going to be a little mess-maker. And I would have totally flipped out with blood coming out of Stacy's ear! Yikes!!

Sounds like our house some days. Our kids once got into baking powder and put it in the cornstarch...then I went to put some cornstarch in pie filling on the stove a month or so later and had a volcano errupt of foam all over the stove. It ends up being funny eventually!

Ugh. That sucks! Now you know why everything I own is under lock and key! Sorry about the ear infections; I've never had to deal with those with my kids (knock REALLY hard on wood). Let me know if I can do anything for you.

Oh, the joys of children! Closed doors, child locks and high shelves don't ever seem like a big enough challenge for little hands!
