I had one of "those" days yesterday. While I was sitting on the couch feeding Avery, Spencer was very busy behind the kitchen island with the new case of juice boxes from Costco. I couldn't figure out what he was doing and of course every time I called him over to me, he ignore me. So when I finished with Avery I walked over to check it out. He had cut with scissors (!) into the case and pierced some of the juice boxes. I figured out later that it was 4 boxes. But all the juice from those boxes leaked all over the other boxes AND all over the floor. And then of course Spencer walked throught the mess a few times and got sticky footprints throughout the family room. Yeah, THAT's fun to clean up. To salvage the juices, I had to rinse off each box. Here's the evidence:

Here's the culprit:


And while I was cleaning that mess, Andi got the ink stamper from the top of Ainslee's pen and stamped her eyelids to look like eyeshadow and her lips to look like lipstick. She had asked me earlier in the day if she could put my makeup on. I should have known something naughty was going to happen. Here's the naughty one:

Here's the first-grader that all the others look up to:

Here's Ainslee, mommy's little helper, and Avery at 4 weeks:

Here's Little Missy at 5 weeks. You didn't know I gave birth to a baby Buddha, did you:

You also didn't know I gave birth to an owl:

Did you ALSO know that brussel sprouts grow on a stalk? We didn't until we bought a stalk at a farmers market last weekend. And the kids loved eating them! Yeah!
