It's been a while

It's obvious that I haven't had time to blog lately. Every night I go to bed and think "I need to work on my blog- maybe tomorrow I'll have time." And here we are, almost 1 month later. I received a new church calling about 3 weeks ago, Secretary in the Primary Presidency, and it's been pretty time consuming. Not to mention the fact that we went on a fabulous 5 day trip to UT, and my darling Madisen is into EVERYTHING these days except her toys. I sincerely can't keep up with her. Every time I turn around she's into something that she shouldn't be into!! Here are just some of her latest 'finds':

*About 2 weeks ago, she and her friend Makayla found the fingernail polish in my bathroom. After they decided it was too difficult for them to paint it on their fingernails, they decided to paint my bathroom floor. Thank goodness it's just linoleum! They managed to use the ENTIRE bottle of bubblegum pink fingernail polish- it looked like a Jackson Pollock painting.

*The next morning she pulled the bottle out of the trash and painted the top of the toilet seat while I was in the shower.

*While we were in UT, she found where my mom keeps her markers. In a matter of 30 seconds she scribbled a 4 foot square piece on the kitchen floor, and a 2 foot square piece on her new marble table. We are so fortunate that it was the water color marker and not the permanent one.

*A few days ago, she reached her hand in behind the child locked cabinet and managed to find the Pepto Bismal, while I was changing Caitlyn's diaper. When she wandered in the room where I was, I noticed the pink liquid all over her pants. I was releived that it wasn't fingernail polish! I asked her if she had some, and she assured me that it was "Just a little bit".

I am so glad you shared those moments. There are days where I think the only kid that does that stuff is Connor. I'm glad to know I'm not alone!

Now you know after running from one discover to the next why being a mother is almost as good as a trip to the gym.

The girls are so cute and we miss them.

Love, Mom
