My Little Texas Tornado

Just the other day I was looking at the kid's bottle of body wash thinking, "this is the first time in awhile that it's lasted this long without being poured into the tub by little helpers." Sissy must have read my mind because when I went to check on her, she had emptied the entire thing into the tub.
This little girl can empty drawers, cupboards, and containers faster than anything I've ever allowed in my house. One morning, by 7:15, she had successfully emptied the couscous onto the floor and spread spaghetti all over the kitchen. I know, I know- child locks. But I refuse to put them on, so I guess I'm stuck cleaning up messes for awhile.

And since we're talking about the Little Lady, I've got to share. She is on pacifier detox. She no longer gets it unless she's in the crib for naptime or bedtime. I've been surprised with her progress and it's fun to see her cut little face instead of the pacifier.
This last picture is very typical of our children. A lot of time the kids and I will eat before Brent makes it home for mealtime. But it doesn't matter if they just finish eating, as soon and Dad gets some food they climb up by him and help by drinking his milk, eating chips, etc. He's come to learn that if he's going to have a snack, he's going to have to share.
