Gavin was here

You know Gavin was here when...
  • The entire roll of tp is unravelled on the floor
  • The entire box of Kleenex, wipes, dryer sheets and garbage bags are pulled out all over the ground
  • There are tiny little Kleenex squares littering the house from him shredding them to pieces.
  • You lift the toilet lid and find something if not a few things thrown in there.
  • All your nicely folded laundry is pulled out of the drawers and scattered about the room
  • When you find random dish towels throughout the house, he has a fascination with them...
  • Your bedside table is a complete mess and everything is not in it's place
  • You are missing your lotion
  • The contents of your purse are yet to be found
  • You are vacuuming and it shuts off at least 10X due to a little hand that loves to pull the plug
  • You find toys in your shower
  • All Ethan's toys are tinkered with and Gavin's toys are left to get dusty
  • The pile waiting for you to get the dust pan is now scattered around the floor
  • Baths take forever because the little one only likes the plug in the draining mode
  • When you lay on the ground, you are guaranteed a chubby 1yr old to come pounce on you.
  • When you feel the overwhelming since of joy and satisfaction when looking at his smiling face, you know Gavin was here!

Monica - I think your kids make more messes than any kids I know! Maybe I am just lucky to have kids that do OTHER naughty things. :)

Are you sure Jamison wasn't there? They could be good friends. A demo team for sure. Thank you once again for reassuring me that I am not the only mother who can't be every where at once. You are a champ my friend!Their little faces just melt ya!

Jana SO does those things! Dishtowels especially, I can't figure out why it bothers her so much when they're hanging in their place. Huh.
