New Sheriff in town...

Last year at this time, I posted a story about Evelyn randomly setting alarm clocks. Since she didn't know how to tell time, it was accidental (and also really crazy) that they always went off at night. I aptly titled that post "Little Stinker"....well, there's a new sheriff in town...and she has rightly assumed the position of "Stinker" in this house. Here's what she was doing a few days ago....

Her minorly OCD sister jumped in and immediately cleaned up the mess while saying gently, "Really, Viv, REALLY? You dumped the WHOLE box of baking soda on the floor AGAIN? How's Mimi supposed to make cookies?" I had to laugh. A girl after my (and Grammy's and Auntie Laura's) own heart! Of course the biggest problem with this baking soda thing is the lack of cookies that will be made! .....and if you are wondering why Evelyn used the word "AGAIN"...check below...that picture was from last Oct. We thought we learned our lesson, but apparently we did not....Then, to continue her Reign, yesterday I made the mistake of going to the bathroom without having Viv in my sight, and she decided that it made more sense to go ahead and take all those wipes (that were nice perforated and folded by the company) apart one by one.

So there you have it, Pampers. It makes more sense to have them in a giant wad then neatly packed in the box. By the way, I didn't manage to get a picture of it, but she was also squeezing them as hard as she could (while saying the word "sqqqquuish" over and over) and making a large puddle of wipe liquid on the treadmill. Oh well. At least they were clean wipes this time.

And, just to be sure that she's remembered in the "stinker" department, this morning while we were making our homemade playdough, Sydney thought it would taste real nice to go ahead and lap up, not just a sip, but my entire coffee cup. I like that her snout is so long you can still see her whole head poking out of the cup.Oh well, I can buy more baking soda (again), shove the wipes back in, and make more coffee. Thank you, God, for sweet little stinkers to keep it fun.
