what i thought was going to be a *normal* evening at the richards' household turned into much, much more....brett at football practice, audrey at the table coloring, i was attempting to cook a new yummy meal & all was quiet....here is where the problem lied..... it . was . quiet .
"audrey, is grant in the living room?"
"no. but he is really quiet."
*gulp*
"i'll go check on him"
*ugh*
....as any good mother would do........i grabbed my camera.........i was mad, i was tickled, i was laughing through the steam coming out of my ears....poor audrey was a bit more mortified than me....my ocd child immediately grabbed some wipes & started cleaning.....me?? i shut the door & waited till his father got home...
what??? what'd i do???
well.....let me tell ya what he did.....he creamed, powdered & started diapering his poor, harmless, sweet monkey.....ol' george didn't stand a chance....i've gotta give the boy some props, he knew what to do with all the stuff & basically where to put it......maybe this is a sign he will be a great father one day.....needless to say, he managed to go through a whole bottle of baby powder, a good size jar of resinol ~ oh yes, the $13 diaper cream!!!, several baby wipes & a diaper.....clothes & shoes were covered.....i stripped him down and sent him to the living room to innocently watch some noggin while i attempted to finish cooking....
"mom!!! grant spilled his cup!"*you've . got . to . be . kidding . me*
"like, where audrey??"
"um, all over him.....and his chair."
*ugh*
*UGH*
*U . G . H.*
yup.....that would be watered down PURPLE grape juice..... FOR . THE . LOVE!!!!! i know what you all are thinking, why in the world would you not use white grape juice???? because that would be too easy & OBVIOUSLY we don't do anything easy in our household.....and realistically, my kids like the purple better....nice, real nice...
oh, and that dinner i was cooking......italian shrimp pasta with spinach.....it really was good, despite everything else....
and to finish the evening.....i know, there couldn't possibly be more.....ice cream.....i mean, why not??? what's the point of being mad now?!!?notice, i still haven't gotten him dressed......seriously, why would i do that?!?!
who could stay mad at a face like that????and he knows it too :)
grant is a WILD MAN and i love it!!
he is a very passionate child....in each & every aspect of his two year old being... he loves me like nothing else, is rough & tumble with brett, loves/aggravates his sissy and makes friends EVERYWHERE he goes.....we are going to have many, many more adventures with this guy.....
hold on tight for the ride!

That is to funny! And you are right that little booger it way to cute to stay mad at. I have decided that the Reid Family is going to have to come to your house for dinner at least one night a week. Your dinners are WAY better than mine. I am not even going to show Dougie because that might cause a divorce. Tell Audrey the girls have been asking about her everyday.

Great pics and journaling! I especially love the pics of him eating the ice cream and enjoying it to the fullest and laughing as if to say "this has been the best day EVER!!!" Too cute!
