When Good Kids Turn Bad


Caleb is normally a pretty good kid. He definitely knows how to throw his toys around a room and make a mess. But, usually he's pretty good. And then Friday evening happened...
I had been upstairs cleaning up the weekly mess in the office. Caleb was there with me. I decided to run downstairs and start dinner quickly. I was making a quick dinner since I more warm pre-made stuff than actually cook, so it only took about 5 minutes for me to get it started. In that five minutes, Caleb showed me just how quick and sneaky he could be.

Upon returning to the office I noticed Caleb's face looked funny. Upon further investigation I discovered that he had retrieved a tube of lipstick from my make-up drawer, drawn all over his face and shirt, and painted some walls. Ahhhh.....Boys!

The rest of the weekend was pretty uneventful. Aaron had drill all weekend so the kids and I hung out. We went to a craft show which was just over crowded so we didn't hang out there too long. Although, we did find some fruity smelling all organic playdough. Caleb got to play with it Saturday afternoon. It was his first experience with playdough. At first he didn't really know what to do with it, but he soon figured it out. We also went shopping. On Sunday, I told Campbell that if she helped me clean the house then we could go watch a movie. Bribery is a great thing. She has never cleaned the living room so quickly! We ended the weekend with a nice family dinner out. To make it even better, we were the only people in the restaurant. It was really nice to have our own personal restaurant for a bit.
