This is why I am having trouble finding time to pack

Posted on by

Did we mention that we’re moving to Seattle at the end of the month?  I’m more than a little worried that I might not be all packed up in time, but turning my focus from parenting to packing results in things like this:

12.9.10 Nicole's messI thought Nicole had fallen asleep when I hadn’t heard from her for awhile.  Apparently she rejected my nap idea in favor of her own idea which was to empty out all Isaac’s drawers and her clothing and books and then pour baby powder all over everything.  She was so happy and proud of her little disaster that she galloped down the hall happily yelling “big, big mess!”

Not just for bottoms anymore!

Isaac had a hard time going to bed tonight. He got up over and over again. Finally when I thought he was asleep I went into his room to put a toy away and found him smearing diaper cream all over his shelves and toys! I read somewhere that baby oil is effective for removing diaper cream from a small bottom and it turns out that it also works on shelves, books, trucks, coats, walls, and night stands! For more pictures of this unfortunate incident check out our flickr pictures.  Our collection of pictures is nearning 5,000!

There is such a thing as too much sunscreen!

I thought I could take a few minuets to type something on the computer.  I knew there was trouble when I heard both children laughing in the other room.  I came out to find that Isaac had raided the diaper bag and was smearing sunblock all over the floor and Charlotte was helping him!  If you want to see more of this mayhem, then check out our flickr pictures (found on the left hand side of this page.

Banana Wasteland

 This is what happens in the Cochran home when children are left alone in a room with bananas!  I thought the bananas were out of reach on the cupboard, but obviously I was wrong!
