Sometimes toddlers help a bit too much!

So let me start off by saying just how much I love my older two children.....More than words! But, sometimes they can be just a wee bit to helpful. For instance, yesterday was the first day I was left on my own with all 3 children and needless to say my clean house is no longer. Here is how yesterday and today have gone so far. Dave left to work at just before 6:00 am and unfortunately could not take JT, who was already up and wanting to play at 5:30, with him. I was left to try and feed Paslei while keeping JT from waking up Addison. Also since JT is a growing boy he thought that he was hungry at that hour which then lead to being thirsty as well. Luckily, help arrived in the form of sleep when JT laid down next to me and fell asleep but to no alas, was woken up at 7:30 by Addison coming into wish all of us a "Good Morning!" I had just made waffles for breakfast when Leslie and Phill showed up, lucky for me the kids wanted to play but they helped to feed them while Payslei ate. When the kids were done with breakfast and Phill and Leslie left I finally sat down to eat around 11:00. Meantime I should tell you was spent trying to keep kids away from a sleeping baby. When I finished with breakfast I got into the shower and put Paslei in her infant carrier inside with me so she would not be killed. While in the shower the real fun happened outside the bathroom door. Addison and JT dumped their shoes all over Addison's striped bed and a toys all over the room, mind you it was clean when they started. They striped the covers off of my bed as well, dumped toys all over JT's room and the Front Room. Did I mention that I love my children? When I got out of the shower the two of them got into the bath and were having a grand old time. I thought that I was safe to feed Payslei again but while doing so I heard Addison yelling at JT, "No, don't put those diapers in the bath!" I couldn't do anything but wait to see the damage done when Payslei had finished. 10-15 diapers had been lost in the soaking up of the bath water. At that point my dear sweet husband called to see how things were going and when I told him he asked if he needed to take more days off work. As for today so far they have pulled JT's mattress off of the bed and striped the sheets. Normally I would put it back on by myself but can't so it will have to wait for their Dad to come home. On the bright side they did pick up most of their toys in the Front Room today and have been MORE than helpful with their new baby sister. I Love My Kids!
