As all parents know, with small children there is never a dull moment (or a free moment for that matter). But I've found that's alright, because usually whatever mischief our children are getting into, it almost always puts a smile on my face. Whether it's making a mess, rearranging the house, or a "sibling quarrel", it almost always makes me laugh (almost).
Nate and Elin had their first DQ dilly bars yesterday. I think they both enjoyed them thoroughly. After raising who I thought was the messiest-eating toddler in the world, I thought Elin would surely be neater during meal-time. I was dead wrong. Elin is much worse, usually getting parts of her meal in her hair, down her back, and somehow in her diaper (???). Sometimes we're happy to eat outdoors in the backyard to ease the clean-up process, then straight to the tub!
When Elin takes some play-time in her room, she has developed the habit of pulling every wipe out of the baby-wipes container... individually. I'm not sure why she gets joy out of this, but let me tell you, it's sure a joy putting them all back in!
Elin has also been a big fan of peek-a-boo, and now her favorite way to play is with her garbage basket (don't worry, we don't put dirty diapers in this!). And yes, we've had a few bumps and bruises playing this way.
Peek-a-boo... Look at this belly!

Lacey does the "pull out every single wipe one by one" thing too! Must be a 1-yr old thing! And I'm jealous that you have a DQ -- ours just went out of business and I could sure use a cherry misty float once in a while:)
