Addison has hair

Finally she has enough hair to put a bow in!

My house is very child proof, that is until someone leaves something out. I had some candy chocolates that were in the cabinet. As long as they were there I was going to snack on them. So I gave them to Adam this morning and asked him to hide them. Well apparently hide them means leave them sitting on the couch. I got the kids out of their high chairs and put them on the ground to run. They are allowed to go from dining room to kitchen and living room. Everything breakable is packed in the attic, all plugs are child proof and all bottom cabinets are full of tupperware, pans and towels so the kids can play with them. So I though I was safe to clean up the high chairs why they played. I came into the living room to find my couch looking like this....

and my boys looking like this....

and the boys had chipmunk cheeks because they each had about 8 pieces of chocolate in their mouths. I had to hurry and pull out all the chocolate that was a melty mess in their mouths and the boys were not happy. They wanted the chocolate!

House Pranks

Our house is not a safe zone from pranks. Someone is always trying to scare someone else. We have the underwear pranks, a shower is never safe from someone throwing over a cup of ice water, you never know when you will be woken up by a halloween mask and obviously you never know what ugly monsters are hiding in the closet. I have to admit Oaklen's reaction is priceless and he took it well.

Speaking of funny stuff. Oaklen would like me to share the time he ran into the neighbors truck. We did not teach Oaklen to ride a bike as young as we should have. He never really showed any interest in the bikes we bought. Eventually his Nana and Popo taught him on one of his trips to Texas. When he got back he needed a bigger bike. So not only was he new at riding but also switched bikes making it feel as though he was learning all over again. He was doing pretty well with it until Adam told him to ride down the road. Apparently Oaklen did not know how to stop or make a sharp turn because he ran right into the back of the truck. Luckily he had one of those old nothing can dent trucks and Oaklen made it without any dents also.
