I am quickly discovering that when mom is taking care of the baby my other two think it is a free for all. Just a few days ago I was nursing the baby when Kelsi walks in with a pocket knife, telling me that Shaylee had it. Yes, it was open. It scared me terribly. I knew where it had been. It was high on a shelf in the kitchen supposedly out of reach of my four and six year old. It was in a little wire basket with the scissors that I didn't want my children using without permission. They needed a pair of scissors and instead of asking they pushed a chair up there and got them. We are going to have to be more careful where we put things.
The next thing that happened while I was taking care of the baby needs a little back story. We have planted two tomato plants. Our two tomato plants are not doing very well but we got a couple of tomatoes of them the other day and were planning to use them for BLT's. (Sad to say these may be the only ones we get.) Shaylee decided she needed to try one so she got a toothpick and tried to cut off a piece. She did this by poking holes in lines. After trying this in several spots on the tomato and discovering that it wasn't working she threw the tomato away. Shortly thereafter, I found it in the trash and discover the story behind it. I guess see decide it best to use a toothpick in light of the experience explained above.
The next event happened with Kelsi. She was watching the baby on the bed for a minute while I was helping Shaylee with something. Shortly after I left, Kelsi comes in saying she had tried to change the baby's diaper and there was a lot of poop and she got it on Courtney's clothes. She had taken Courtney's diaper off and laid her back down on her clothes. It was a mess but hopefully a lesson learned.
I should have more pictures coming soon. We just got our camera back. We had to send it in to get it repaired. Shaylee had poked the lens shutter until it got jammed. We thought it was going to cost us at least $100 to fix but to our surprise Canon fixed it for no charge. Thank you Canon!

Hey guys! Glad to know I am not the only one with kids who do that. I could create a blog dedicated just to the adventures of Emma and Abbey.
Reagan did (and still does) the exact same thing. I would always ask her if she needed something before I fed Lorelai. She always said no. Then part way through the feeding, she would wander in with something she wasn't supposed to have or she would come in with food that was at least 2 shelves too high in the pantry. Kids....gotta love 'em.
This morning My 16 month old found a 9 volt battery and was sticking it to his tounge and giggling. Parenting is such an adventure, and there is no way you can ever know what they will do next.
