Chaos Reigns

Ugh! I keep wondering if anything more could go wrong today. It's not even big things, just little things like accidentally dumping a bunch of Gerber puffs all over the floor. You can't blow the dust off those things! They're so light that when you have them in your hand and try to blow them off they just all go flying again. Yes, I follow the 5-second rule. Don't judge me. Anyway, things have been a little crazy today and I'll admit, I've been a little cranky. Also, it's our 4-year anniversary so I think I started the day with a sense that I deserved a good day... unfortunately, the kids don't care what day it is. So here's a quick video of Katie's room. It's a mess because she and Owen decided to pull out every toy she owns. Here you'll see her going after her favorite toy, a little ball that jingles, which was lost for a few weeks.


Being the fabulous creative mom that I am (read in a very sarcastic tone), I decided to make a recycling bin robot with Owen today. Truthfully it was just because I was sick of listening to him ask for a transformer and trying to explain that we couldn't buy him toys constantly for no reason... especially in our current budget situation. Anyway, it has yet to be finished but here is a picture of the robot chaos on the couch.

And one last note... this is what I see behind me as I sit here trying to write this post.


That's Katie climbing my chair (with her tongue out, as always) and Owen inside the toy hamper. Yup, chaos reigns in our house today.
