Shenanigans

Having two kids is always an adventure. Let's be honest, having a partner in crime or someone to blame  (especially someone that can't talk) always makes it more interesting.

 

 It doesn't seem that long ago that Mc was the one digging in the garbage, the toilet and that the fridge needed to be "locked" to keep her out. Kingston has slid into the "terrible twos" and joined the ranks of all things menacing. I guess these are the things that one day when we are old we will look back and laugh or those little gems that make it into the wedding video.

 

KINGSTON:

We had a full out wardrobe change 10 minutes before church after a brief dip in the toilet on Sunday.

 

The garbage is now the best place to find anything that you think you have lost.

 

Binkies are lost two at a time (check the garbage)- you have to have one in your mouth & hand at all times.

 

The Christmas tree is the bane of my existence. Ornaments are not safe at any height.

 

MCKINLEY:

You have entered the "hiding" stage. If you think you will get in trouble, we hide it.

 

14 pages a day MINIMUM, full color,  are found printed on the printer from nickjr.com. I have no paper and no ink.

 

You have to wear shorts every.single.day. We are in the dead of winter and despite where I hide them, you will find those too short, too small, plaid shorts.

 

 



 

 

Baby powder. This one Mc decided it would be fun to open the bottle for Kingston and then see what happened.



Bath time is made that much more fun in your jammies. After you already had your bath. And you were ready for bed.

What a fun Halloween! The weather was so delightful (reminded me of Arizona!) and Mc learned the delights of trick or treating. She & Brynlee only went to a few houses in Mimi's neighborhood but Mc was amazed that you could knock and people freely gave you candy. We visited Grandma Mary Ann, Mimi and Papa & Grandma Chris (she brought the kid's toothbrushes which was better than any candy as far as Kingston was concerned).

Mark missed all the fun this year as he & his dad, Tony and brother Mike were in Vegas @ SEMA. I am pretty sure that next to our wedding day and birth of or children, that was the best 3 days of his life.

The kids were darling and the candy was plentiful.

Sleeping Beauty (see previous post about no naps..now we just always fall asleep in the car).

The Running Dead

A few peeps from my ward & I decided we would take our chances among the dead @ The Zombie Chase 5K. We were all ready to scream our faces off and leave mortified however, we were kind of disappointed. The zombies were cheesy, the obstacles-lacklustre BUT all in all the company was good. We had fun shooting "Zombies" with paint balls, crawling through rusty pipes and rocking it Gangum style.

After- we remained uninfected.

Kell & I read to get our race on.
