What have you been up to? Edit #2 & #3 @ bottom

I don't know about you guys, but for me life is CRAZY BUSY!!! So busy in fact, I rarely have time to do much else except chase after my extremely active two year old.

In this post you will find just a few activities that our precious two year old has been engaging in.

One of my favorites is the need to draw on herself. I have lost count of how many times she has done this.

During the Christmas season I got so tired of rewrapping presents, I had to hide them all until Christmas Eve. I couldn't keep her out of them. This time she even knocked over the rocking chair trying to run away from Steve after he caught her.

She enjoyed plucking all the ornaments off my snowman trees. When I say plucking, I mean she pulled off the bulb and left the hook and the top of the ornament on the tree.

She is really good at wall art. So good in fact, there are only a few walls left upstairs that are not decorated.

No day would be complete without having to wipe some sort of food all over my beloved red couch.

Naptime is the best time for making a mess of the wipes or taking all the clothes out of your dresser. (I didn't get a picture of that one.)

Sometimes the walls are just not enough to decorate. The carpet is a good alternative when you run out of wall space.

My personal favorite and most recent discovery is that hair gel is a fabulous moisturizer for your hair and body. Do you know what makes it even better? If you moisturize while sitting on your new potty wearing a brand new homemade tu tu from your good friend.

It's okay if you make a puddle on the floor! Thats what Moms are for!

Sorry this picture is so blurry, but the smile on her face is priceless. I was laughing so hard, the camera was shaking.

It's also okay to leave your hand print on the wall.

So, this is my life in a nutshell for now. What have you been up to?

**EDIT**

I take that back, I now have a picture of her clothes all over the floor. Just after I published this post I went up to check on "Her Majesty" and this is what I found.

While I was Blogging about the Toilet Paper Caitlyn discovered that butter straight from the dish is delish!!!!

Who's ready for BED??? Oh yeah, thats ME!!!!

STL Science Center

Everybody was home today because of Martin Luther King Day.  We took advantage of our day off by going out as a family to the STL Science Center.  Apparently everybody else in STL had the same idea.  It was so busy in that building that we really didn't get to see much.  But, we did enjoy the exhibits that we did get to see.

WE have a Winner!!!!

I am so surprised that someone figured it out. Congrats, Wanelle (aka grandma) you are the winner of the cute little Zhu Zhu pet named Pipsqueak. You and CJ must have very similar minds. I will put Pipsqueak in the mail sometime this week.

Yes, even the prize was a clue. The object in the picture is a homemade Hamster cage. Complete with a water bottle, a spinning wheel, wood shavings, and a cute little black hamster named Max.

Shortly after our Dog Doogie died CJ started begging for another pet. I have resisted so far! My main excuse has been that the boys didn't help take care of Doogie in the first place, and we couldn't possibly get another pet until they could prove to me that they would be responsible enough to help out. That is when CJ came to me and showed me his made up pet Max. I had no clue what he was up to until just before Christmas. He started begging for a Zhu Zhu pet and laid it on very thick that if he couldn't have a real pet then he just had to have a Zhu Zhu pet. Well, if you have been in America lately you know that Zhu Zhu pets were hottest toy on the market over Christmas. I shopped high and low, early and late in the day to find him one of those silly things. Lucky for me one late Sunday night a few weeks before Christmas my friend Casey and I were shopping and just before we walked into the door of Toys R Us someone returned a very over priced Zhu Zhu pet city. I bought it and our little CJ had the best surprise Christmas gift ever. He ripped the paper off that box faster than greased lightning. I have never seen him so excited. Just remember these little boogers we call children, become experts at the manipulation game at a very young age.

Any more guesses..... ***EDIT***

This looks like a good prize, doesn't it?

****The first person to leave a comment with the correct answer will win this fabulous Zhu Zhu pet. I know, Christmas is over, and the craze over these silly pets has gone down a bit. But, it is still a great prize.****

Surely, someone will guess what this is. Do you even want to know what it is? I know it's weird. Trust me you will laugh when you figure it out.

There may or may not be a prize involved for the person who guesses correctly.

Here is another clue.......my son CJ was plotting against me. He was proving something to me.

Here is a close up....

Snow Day

Like much of the country, we had a big snow storm last week.  Because of the bitter cold, the boys didn't  go out and play in the snow until yesterday.  They had so much fun playing king of the hill on the mound of snow the snow plow left in the middle of our round about.  

So Fun!!!!!
