Mischief & $15 to Happiness

During the late afternoons we leave the back door open and the kids can come and go as they please. What we need to be aware of is when the constant noise that they make dies down to that ominous quiet, when it does you know they are up to something.

When one of us needs to ask where is { insert child’s name here } then you know they are doing something they shouldn’t…

In this case I found what had been a clean, fully dressed Etienne playing in their “water bucket”. Playing with the water was just not enough, he had to be in the water… After a change and a wipe down with one of the towels that is now permanently on had near the back door, he rushed off to play cars on his new mat ( IKEA $15 ) with his wonderful big sister. We did at least manage to get a fresh, dry diaper on the boy before his escape.
