micheif managed

Mrs. Molly Weasley had 7 children - 6 boys (including a set of twins) and then her girl.
Though short two children, I can say I almost equally compare...because she had magic.
No fair.
I've got to clean up the hard way.

...When they are caught using the wrong toothbrushes or "helping" to clean the bathroom by emptying the foam soap I just laugh it off.
Childs-play.
I sometimes even let them continue playing until they're bored...because, well...they've already made the mess, and they are entertaining themselves with something relatively harmless.  Lose-Win.  (shockingly better than lose-lose)

But spilling out the entire bottle of tylenol pm? (safety lock my FOOT!)...or when they literally push each other down the steps...that's no fun for anyone, and sends me into a tizzy.

So here we are with yet another list...
I can't always keep up with the pics of the naughtiness (though I do try if it's harmless), but I managed to capture a few mischievous things. 

1. dumping an entire new container of cheerios all over the living room floor.  (I can have one on my lap, another at my side, one at school, but there are still two that lurk about.)
2. self-bathing in the humungous tub of homemade laundry detergent, freshly made.
3. playing "what's that smell" with spices from the Lazy Susan...then dumping them everywhere.
4. breaking toys.
5. using Vaseline as hair gel (again...just a different kid)
6. taking twin dumps in their pants, jammies, undies...and occasionally the potty (yay!)
7. coloring yourself with markers (this I prefer to the table...)
8. breaking Mommy's things that you think are your toys.
9. play in the toilet water every chance they get.
10. eat deodorant.
11. pull fist-fulls of each other's hair out?

............anyone else experiencing any of this??

BIG FAMILIES RULE!  True statement...though I can't help but daydream about when their bigness results in a bit more maturity. ;)
