madelyn and mason have been playing so nicely lately, and with minimal supervision, that i took a chance this morning. every thursday i have an 8:30am meeting that lasts any where from 30 minutes to up to two hours. i am always at a loss for what is the best thing to do with the kids.usually, i put mason in his crib with some toys and turn some music on for him. madelyn doesn't always stay in with him. sometimes she watches a movie or just plays on her own quietly. but now that mason doesn't have a "crib" to contain him, that wasn't going to work.
my meeting was just shy of an hour and i was so pleased with how happily i could hear them playing the whole time! i had seen them play in mason's room with the video monitor for a while and could hear them moving around the house. i was going to praise their behavior as i made my way up the stairs - and then i saw them. playing with pinto beans, red beans, oatmeal, toffee bits, and a bag of brown rice like they were in a sandbox! what?!
while i wasn't happy with this i just had to get my camera for a quick picture. and then i took a little video because madelyn was telling me that she and mason had made a big mess. i asked her why later and she told me that mason made her do it. yeah, right. oh well, at least it vacuumed up and didn't leave any stains. it could have been worse. love.

so cute.
I was just going to tell you that i was impressed that Maddie and Mason never touched anything they weren't supposed to. I'm sure they'll never do it again. Ah yes, little brothers, a great escape goat! Hope it wasn't too bad. Guess you need a camera in the kitchen too.
Funny! I'll never forget when their father got into talc powder and the powder puff I had with it. He had decorated everything in white in our bed and bathroom. Liz reminded me that once when he had done something he said a mouse did it. I guess that was before he had a little brother to blame it on. Ahhhh...kids....
Love, Nana
ha! so true. whenever its quiet aroun here, I know there's trouble. I love how as you're filming it, you tell them not to get anymore. Mason made me do it- HA!
