All by themselves, huh? That is truly miraculous.
I always knew you were the best thing since sliced bread (that was funny) glad your kids were able to discover it again.
"it wasn't me" does a lot of stuff around here!
i hope you're compiling all this wisdom for a book. honestly.
LOL so true! Especially the whisper one. They can hardly hear me if I ask them to do their chores. But, if I say something quietly to dad, they hear every last word.
Yikes! A black sharpie. Have you discovered the Magic Eraser? I wish that had been around when I was cleaning up sharpie and crayons from the wall.
I may be the only mother/grandmother on the planet who does not allow Candyland in my house. It is a game that drives me nuts, then makes a big mess to boot. My poor deprived offspring!
Wow, drawing all by themselves is impressive.
My girls like to blame things on their 1 year old brother.
This is a great list. I would add: Kids start getting along when you tell them they have to go to bed.
I think with all those snow days, it's a wonder your babies are still alive. Definitely points for you as a mom.
SO true. You should write a book.
In my kids' dreams they would get white bread. They don't know how good they've got it. When I was growing up, no store-bought bread ever crossed our threshold.
