Multiple Mischief

Ryan was gone all week last week...so on Friday, the girls were so excited to see him...but he got home after 7. So for an hour or so, we sat outside, planning a little strategy on how we were going to "squirt" him when he got home....

A, E and H showing me their weapons. :)

Posing with their squirt guns, they are very focused. :)

Addy, Emily, Hailey - "is daddy home yet?"

Might as well take a drink while we wait.....

and squirt some ants to pass the time...

Discussing strategy...

THERE HE ISSSS MOMMM!!!!

And they're off...

Hands up!!!

Pure joy and delight....and determination :) So good to see him again! :)

Okay so THAT was the "fun" mischievous stuff...and THEN...here's the REAL trouble they were in yesterday. Here's the story. So...2 of my high school youth group girls came over to hang out (now they're in college). Anyways, they came over at like 12:30..we put the girls to bed at 1:15. Of course, they didn't really want to nap (sleeping in general has been a struggle for them lately as I'm pretty sure they are very close to going w/o naps - tear!) Anyway, so they got out of bed, I put them back. They got out again..and then they got a spanking. Usually, after they get a spanking, they do not get out again. So we went downstairs, waited 5 minutes, didn't hear anything...and then went outside to chat and catch up since it was nice out. Well....about an HOUR later, I see Emily and Hailey standing by the back door. I wasn't sure if they had just woken up from a very short nap cuz their eyes were closed...or if they were messing around that whole time. Well, turns out they were having a PARRRRTAAAY in my room and in their bathroom!! OH my goodness. Hailey had a combination of hairspray, toothpaste, eye shadow, and eye liner all in her eyes so her poor eyes were stinging and she couldn't even see! So I rushed to rinse her out. Emily looked like she had a swollen mouth and was talking all funny. She had an entire stick of lipstick in her mouth. YUCK! Just the thought of eating that is so disgusting! So I go up to my room, nervous to even see where Addy was...and there she was in my room. They had gotten in to ALLLLLL of my make up. Every single thing was empty. No more lipstick anywhere - all my brushes were full of gloss and who knows what. The walls had stuff all over them. Toothpaste was spread everywhere. And the floors were so sticky with hairspray everywhere!!! A bunch of our clothes and their blankies are ruined with lipstick stains now. Ohhh man. Lucky for the girls that I had friends over...because my friends just kept saying "Oh they made a memory Shelly!" AHHH! :) :) :) It was funny and maddening and disgusting and shocking all at the same time. I knew stuff like this is bound to happen w/ 3 two year olds....but MAN! I can't believe they were having a hay day in there for an hour and I never heard a thing! They are so sneaky!!! Here's the damage...

Their bathroom -

pic doesn't show it all over the cabinets and walls and floor...

Alllll my make-up empty and everywhere...

This is what the floor looks like AFTER vacuuming, carpet cleaning, etc. ... naughty naughty girls...and I guess I should be in trouble too for not checking on them again.... what a day!!!

The girls kept saying "Just vacuum Mom" as if that would solve the problem. Oh man. Here they are today, imitating my "mad Mom face" from the day before. :) Making memories...for sure!!! Hopefully that is all with the mischief though!!! (Hailey, Emily, Addy)
