Kids Driving Mom Crazy

My children have a capacity for destruction that should be researched and harnessed into some kind of weapon. I've started documenting the chaos so as to maintain my sense of humor and perhaps to chart the deterioration of my own sanity.



Here we find a typical scene after the mom takes a shower... she returns to find that the child she thought she had carefully dressed in the morning has taken offense to his clothing and shunned them in protest.


When caught misbehaving it is important for the young to maintain a look of incredulity that an adult would find fault with the actions of the young.



The use of food as a form of protest is a common yet very effective tool in the battle.





Be sure that while the adult is distracted by another task to maximize the opportunity for destruction!!






Incase you are wondering, extra eggs make cookies fluffier, like cake.


Phone calls are prime for taking advantage of the resources the adult has left out.


I wondered for a week and a half where my spoons had gone. Was able to get the littler one to reveal the secret stash by giving her a granola bar.


Here we see the sibling duo collaborating to take one bite out of each of the apples in the fruit basket so as to eradicate the food supply.
Love them, they keep life interesting!!! But if I get that look that says I may lose my mind at any moment...I'll hope you'll understand.
