Ok so my two daughters were playing in the other room. One is 8 and one is 2. I was zoned into the race..The wifey was folding clothes. I realized the kids are way to quiet and just as I get up to investigate..I realize that the 8 year old is in the kitchen and the two year old is all alone in the 8 year olds bedroom.
We are only talking about 2 to 3 mins. of the kids being out of site, and the last time I saw them, they were together. So in just a matter of minutes they are seperated and the 2 year old is alone...all alone to to what ever she wants in Big Sissys room. All alone to get into the toy make up..all alone to figure out that the toy eye liner is fake. All alone to fix this situation,of not having real eye liner....all alone to get a BLACK SHARPIE... She made sure to get her eye lashes,eye lids,eye brows,under her eyes and half her nose. She was pretty. We missed the shot with a camera, due to the fast cleaning of the face.
She looked like Alice Cooper


Keep an eye on em' specially when they're quiet.;) and keep tabs of all the Sharpie markers in the house.
 
Thank goodness for baby wipes, right?! :lol: Yes, quiet is a harbinger of trouble!
 
baby wipes aint working on the sharpie but thats funny!
 
yeah, I dont think Brooke used baby wipes. They got into the shower..maybe baby oil? I 'll have to ask what she used.

*I just had a vision of Brooke pouring fingernail polish remover on Ella's face...yikes. No screaming, so probably not that.
 
Maybe it was antiseptic wipes I used, helping out friends who fell asleep with their shoes on around the wrong people. :lol:
 
OH BOY, the stories, and I've only got one kid......

2005
daughter is 2yrs old, wife working 12hrs days Thurs Fri and Sat. so it's me and the kid on Saturdays. I have to replace a broken window in my Runner hard top. Kelsey is bouncing around inside the Runner, I had just set the glass into the urethane sealer on the top, and was snugging the nuts down. I sudden realize it is real quiet..... she is in the front seat, in my tool bag has the OPEN tube of urethane sealer out of the bag I had placed it in. She is black from head to toe, ( she has no shirt on either, couldn't keep clothes on the kid ). how she didn't get it all over the interior I have no idea..... WET ONES wipes removed all of the sealer, WHEW ! Mom laughed her ass off.

she is now 3, she is in her room for " quiet time " wife and I are in living room chillaxin, tink, tink tink, tink tinkle...... WTF ?

She had pulled the trunk with all the GLASS christmas orniments out of her closet and was throwing them against the wall and laughing her ass off..... GAH !

TONIGHT
package of cheap sandwich steaks are on the counter, waiting for me to season and toss on the grill. next thing we hear " Mooooom! We're out of SALT ! "

I walk into the kitchen, she ( now 9 )is standing on a chair at the counter....

Our son Jonas is 8, Delaney 2. BTDT!
He always keeps the room to his door CLOSED, whether he is in there or not, solely to keep her out.
Can't imagine if she got into the Legos...

And yes, we have a few places on the living room walls w/ marker on them just from those "quiet" moments.
We decided it was going to be easier to just wait and re-paint the room in a year or two than continue cleaning them...
 
Kevin, I thought about the urethane sealant story when I first saw this thread. :lol:

Oh, we're already there. Sara is almost 23 months old and can open the fridge. She attempts to help herself to her milk cup and various snacks, "I ready eat!," "I need snack!," while we try to make sure she doesn't down half a bottle of Texas Pete or dump out the mayo on the floor. Last Sunday morning, Sara got up and went to the kitchen... Shawn peeked in and saw what he thought was the box of raisins in her hands. A minute later, he peeked in again to see her walking in circles in the kitchen shaking baking soda out all over the floor. "I need that!"

She's worse about going into the trash than the dogs. I designate stuff on shelves that she *can* mess with, in the hope that she'll leave the rest of my crap alone. :lol:

The washable crayola crayons really are. She colored all over the Visa bill last month, while my dad watched. :rolleyes: At least we pay it online and didn't have to mail it in covered in blue crayon.
 
We had similar incident with bulk sized coffee creamer, makes pretty snow and you can slide across the floor in your footie jamies !

making sammiches has been an adventure over the years, baloney mayo rasins and chocolate chip morsels is one that comes to mind, 1/4 jar of peanut butter and half a squeeze bottle of grape jelly, yeah, thats a mess for ya. PBJ on a spinach wrap was a recent endevor ( NOT GOOD )

at least it's fun and interesting !
 
My 2 girls are 17 and 20. ( No pics so don't ask ya pervs!)
But we learned to ALWAYS keep an ear out when the first one became mobile enough to get out of sight.
Two of them only made it a thousand times worse!

my baby girls are 15 and 18...no pictures here either and keep your obnoxious pecker swangers away from my daughters...
the 2 and 5 were playing in the 5 year olds room...heard her hollerin bloody murder...ran in and apparently she pissede off the 2.Emily had 2 barbees by trhe hair and swingin them like numb-chucks fixin to go on that ass.I laughed on the inside while I wore that bottom out.
One night while we ate supper...the 2 year old had a small personal frozen pizza to eat.She picked at for a while and then was ready to get into trouble somewhere.I asked if I could have it and she said yes...she did say yes,I have a witness.After eating,I laid down on the couch and dozed off for a few. I awoke to hearing the 2 year old asking"where my pizza" as the broom was being brought down on my head with a loud crack...I couldn't spank her over that one.
Two pound bags of brightleaf hotdogs where allways in my fridge and they would run through,grab one,and then out the door.
 
Rubbing alcohol will remove sharpie. I have 3 boys, 11, 19, 25.

With boys, if they are being quiet, you better get ready.
 
My boys are 6 and 2, and you are so right about having to worry when boys are quiet.

It is loud here nonstop, and then it gets quiet and we look at each other and say "oh crap, it is way too quiet" and run to find them. :lol:
 
Reading threw this just re reminds me why I'm in no hurry to have kids.
 
Chances are, I'm fixin to get a 6 year old (boy) :rolleyes: Reckon I better take this stuff to heart!

Soooo.....How did it taste?
 
Yesterday my 2 1/2 year old son Tucker was playing with his trucks while I was cleaning out the garage and shed, my wife was upstairs finishing putting the bathroom back together after a fresh coat of paint, had not heard Tucker making his usual crashing sounds with his truck for a couple of minutes.....Well he took the roller my wife had left out and paint rolled the front headlights both side doors and tailights of my wifes honda minivan. I could not help but laugh, my wife was not happy
