Coffee, Anyone?

The last couple of days have been filled with a little (a lot of) naughtiness. Yesterday, while nursing Paige, Jack not only decided to get into my fingernail polish, but he actually broke the top off (the part that holds the brush), and proceed to paint himself, our carpet, and our bathroom cabinets! It was quite upsetting. With a little Borax, Woolite, Resolve, and a whole lot of fingernail polish remover (I created a drug to cure cancer...I wish), I was able to get it out. Then today while cleaning out the kids' closets, I came downstairs to check on Jack, when an overwhelming smell of coffee almost floored me. I suspected that he got into the used coffee grounds from today's coffee, when just before I turned the corner, I heard Jack yell, "Sally's Dirty!!" The old grounds were safe, but our brand new container (32 oz, I think) of Folgers was dumped all over our carpet, and Sally and Lightening McQueen were driving through it all. I need a vacation!

Yikes...I sometimes wonder if I will ever have a clean house again:) I told Jason that when I am absolutely sure there will be no more potty training accidents, we are getting the carpets professionally clean. Ava's new thing is opening and carrying around junk mail...it's not as messy as coffee, but sometimes I think I am going to lose my mind if I see another piece of paper laying on the floor that should be in the trash. It makes her happy, but may not be worth the stress headaches is gives her mother:)
