Remember how I said he can't be trusted?

This is what happens if I leave him alone. This was a few minutes after I took the scissors away because he was cutting his hair. Minutes later he left the water running in the bathroom and turned off the light and closed the door. This never ends around here.

One phrase that stood out among the other today was: "One time I was a wasp in a giraffe's mouth."

On the way to preschool yesterday Sarah turned to Eirik and said, "you're a spy." Eirik said in his most exasperated tone, "Uhh, you are not supposed to know that! Oh Brother!"

Skyping with Grandma Eirik said, "Grandma, you don't look a day older than 25." :)

Mischevious little crazy

Joren has gone from my sweet as candy, easy 2 year old to a sly, mischievous little crazy with the devil in his eye. I can't trust him for more than a minute. Yesterday within two hours he greased the counter and everything in reaching distance with a soft stick of butter, he broke two new toys of his brothers, he spilled 20 oz of water he had just poured for himself, slid his plate across the table so that it fell on the floor and spilled all his food, and he got naked to go to the bathroom and refused to get dressed again. He has been difficult to get to bed again. He likes to stay up by himself in his room and line things up or stack things or make big messes at all hours of the night.

Hey , where are all the books?
Oh, of course, they are in the closet. Where else would they be?

... hmmm. He just came in here to show me what he has been up to while I thought he was asleep in bed. He is naked, and covered head to toe in green marker (washable, thank goodness.) Oh well, goodnight swamp man. He's a handful right now! He has this adorable way of saying, "but I won't do it anymore mommy" with a wink in his eye.

This guy gives me no trouble at all. He is an absolute angel. Pure therapy. Pure perfection. I deserve it right? :)
Ahh..

We were painting pet rocks and Eirik painted a carrot. He wanted to save it. Of course, who doesn't want a carrot pet friend?
and this is just to gross you out. :) ha ha..
