We Were Just Trying To Make Lawson Look Pretty

A picture says 1000 words, so see if you can figure out what this picture is saying.  If you guessed "oh man, I think we really pissed him off this time."  Well then that is a pretty good guess.  I'm not sure where they found a blue marker, but they did.  Not only did they mark all over and ruin Lily's bedspread and pillow, but they marked all over each other as well as their little brother:

Obviously I was very mad at the twins and gave them an earful on about ruining Lily's bedding.  I had them both sitting on the floor where I could make sure they were paying attention to me, and right in the middle of my rant Lawson Boy comes crawling in with his Mike Tyson tattoo on his face and despite my best efforts, I couldn't help but bust out laughing.  I did quickly compose myself by leaving the room so I could come back and continue my speech.  One good thing to come out of it was I have never had an easier time putting the Twins down for bed.  Even at 2 years old, they were well aware they had crossed some line and Daddy was not happy with their behavior.  They were very generous with the hugs and kisses at night night.  I can't be sure who started the whole thing, but based on some ramblings from Chloe I get the feeling she masterminded the event.

It should be interesting to see Lily's reaction when she gets home.  She is spending the week in Midland with Mo and her Aunt Lala.  Apparently she is having a good time since I haven't heard from her.  So if you are reading Aunt Lala, make sure Lily calls me. 

We are start to see the Twins mimic Lily more and more now.  Lily's favorite phrase as of late is, "oh brother".  It is basically her way of rolling her eyes at me already.  So as soon as get Lily broken of the habit, Abby picked up right where Lily left off.  We were at the pool and I told Abby it was time to go and she of course replies with an, "oh brother". 

We had a wonderful time at some friends house this past Friday night where we had dinner and swam in their pool.  Lily literally stayed in the pool for 3 hours and experienced her first 'shart'.  She was standing in the pool holding her finger up saying something that sounded like I'm hurt, because she was holding the finger in a manner that made it appear hurt.  After more investigation I learned she had checked herself and was saying, "I pooped".  Luckily it was just a small hershey squirt that was easily remedied with a water hose behind the bushes.  Not only did Lily 'shart', but we found Lawson eating the plants along side the pool, and Abby did her best Natalie Wood imitation.  We had removed her floaties as we were getting out of the pool, but the slide going into the pool was simply too irresistible not to go down one more time.  Though I didn't see her struggling 2 feet away from me, once Kasey pointed out our daughter was drowning I was in a good position to snatch her up. 

Can't wait to see what the rest of the week has in store........
