Glitter

Well we always here the saying all that glitters is not gold. Well it is gold glitter. Elijah and Joy decided to submarine their brothers with glitter. Where they got it I will never know. Lets just say that JD and D's pillows, clothes and room is full of sparkles. D took a shower before bed last night which made it all stick. So as he was trying to get ready for the bus he was trying to desparkle with no chance of it happening anytime soon. Then he wet his hair thinking it would help. I think a 5th grade boy going to school sparkling is a bit of a mortifying experience! He tried to take a good attitude though. Just think of what your kids can get into when you try to clean and can NOT keep your eyes constantly on them.

JD started all of the submarining because of watching Parent Trap. I think I am sorry I let them watch the old movie which I thought was tame. You never know what will spark something in your children. Jd was leaving the wrappers on the kids food and stuffing it in there sandwiches while making lunch. Joy found it so humorous that she decided to strip the beds in the girls room. She has been very creative in what she finds to do. I have also learned you have to watch out for the quiet ones.... who knew they could be so devious!

I have to say all of the trouble they got into yesterday started out with the best greeting. Elijah ran down the hall all excited to see me. His little body gave the biggest sqeeze and then he looked up at me with those big blue eyes and goes "Good morning Mama, I missed you!" It can't get any better then that so I guess I will take the creativity!
